## Discrepancy

ROLL SERVO BRIDLE CABLE WAS IMPROPERLY INSTALLED.  TOP PORTION OF CABLE WAS WRAPPED AROUND PRIMARY AILERON CABLE, CAUSING BRIDLE CABLE TO CHAFE AGAINST A PULLEY FLANGE.  INSTALLATION OF CABLE ASSEMBLY OCCURRED AT THE FACTORY AND HAS NOT BEEN REPLACED SINCE AIRCRAFT WAS MANUFACTURED.  REPAIRED BY REMOVING BRIDLE CABLE AND INSTALLING CABLE CORRECTLY.  (EA17200405907)
