## Discrepancy

FOUND RUDDER LOOSE, FOUND RT ARM TO NOSE WHEEL STEERING ARM BROKEN OFF.  PART APPEARED TO HAVE BEEN CRACKED FOR SOME TIME.  RESEARCH SHOWS WHEEL FAIRINGS REMOVED FOR REPAIR DUE TO HARD CROSSWIND LANDING 145 HOURS.  PREVIOUSLY, AND CABLE TENSION ADJUSTED AT LATER DATE.  SUGGEST HORN BE INSPECTED AFTER HARD LANDINGS OR EXCESS CABLE TENSION ADJUSTMENT REQUIRED.
