## Discrepancy

DURING A 100 HR. INSPECTION NOTICED THAT RT MLG WAS LOOSE.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED CRACK IN RT FORWARD TRUNNION FITTING ASSY.  REMOVED 4 BOLTS THAT ATTACH TRUNNION FITTING TO WING AND DISCOVERED THAT FITTING WAS COMPLETLY CRACKED AND IN 2 PIECES INSTEAD OF ONE.  THE CRACK RAN FORE TO AFT THRU THE ENTIRE FITTING CENTER.
