## Discrepancy

AFTER PERFORMING A VISUAL INSPECTION,  RIGHT WING DAMAGE WAS NOTED ON PANEL 66761.   TO THEREFORE DETERMINE ZERO LEAD/LAG PLAY ON OUR PA28 FLEET, A CHECK ON ALL PA28 AIRCRAFT WINGS WERE PERFORMED.  AFTER INSPECTION, WE FOUND THAT WHEN THAT AIRCRAFT FUSELAGE IS FIXED, THE RIGHT WING EXHIBITED LEAD/LAG PLAY ABOUT THE MAIN SPAR.  THE AMOUNT OF PLAY EXCEEDS THAT OF THE OPPOSITE WING.  IAW MAINTENANCE MANUAL, THE RIGHT WING WAS REMOVED.
