## Discrepancy

PROBLEM FOUND ON THRUST REVERSER.  UPON PRELIMINARY INSPECTION IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE FWD HINGE BUSHING WAS CRACKED ACROSS THE SHOULDER AND AROUND THE TRANSITION FROM THE RADIAL TO THE FLANGE ON THE OUTSIDE OF THE BUSHING. PHOTOGRAPHS OF THE BUSHING ARE ON FILE AT THE REPAIR STATION.  THIS IS THE FIRST FINDING OF THIS TYPE BY THIS REPAIR STATION.
