## Discrepancy

PILOT/OWNER REPORTED TO MX THAT ON APPROACH AFTER DISENGAGING AUTOPILOT, AILERONS WERE DIFFICULT TO MOVE. NO WINDS AND STABLE APPROACH MINIMIZED PROBLEM. MX NOTED AILERONS WERE EXTREMELY DIFFICULT TO MOVE, AND FURTHER MOVEMENT COULD HAVE CAUSED EVEN GREATER DIFFICULTY OR COMPLETE IMMOBILIZATION OF THE AILERONS. AILERON SERVO WAS REMOVED AND SENT OUT FOR EXCHANGE. IT WAS NOTED ON REMOVAL THE OUTPUT SHAFT SUPPORT BEARING WAS LOOSE AND BINDING.
