## Discrepancy

WHILE INSPECTING THE LANDING GEAR SYSTEM, THE SIDE BRACE STUDS WERE REMOVED FOR CLOSE VISUAL AND N.D.I. INSPECTION.  THE LEFT STUD WAS FOUND CRACKED AND WORN BEYOND LIMITS.  SUSPECT NORMAL WEAR.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS MORE FREQUENT REQUIRED DISASSEMBLY AND DETAILED INSPECTION OF THIS PART.
