## Discrepancy

LWR TORQUE KNEE STOP LUG IS MACHINED TOO SHORT ALLOWING OVER EXTENSION OF THE LWR LANDING GEAR STRUT.  THIS ALLOWS THE BRAKE ASSY AND TIRE TO CONTACT AND DAMAGE THE LWR NACELLE SKIN DURING GEAR RETRACTION AND EXTENSION.  THE MFG DATED CODE STAMPED ON THE TORQUE KNEE WAS JULY 2, 2008.  THE PROBLEM WAS CORREDTED WITH THE INSTALLATION OF A NEW TORQUE KNEE WITH MFG DATE OF AUGUST 26, 2006.  (K)
