## Discrepancy

DURING DETAILED LANDING GEAR INSPECTION, THE SCISSORS ON THE RT MAIN GEAR WERE FOUND CRACKED.  THE CRACKS ARE LOCATED NEAR THE MACHINED RADIUS WHERE THE TWO SCISSORS CONNECT.  IT WAS DETERMINED THE CRACKS WERE, OR COULD HAVE BEEN CAUSED BY THE TORQUE KNEE BOLT/HARDWARE BEING LOOSE.  THE LT GEAR ASSY SCISSORS WERE FOUND TO BE SLOPPY AND THE SUBSEQUENT INSPECTION REVEALED WORN BUSHINGS.  (X)
