## Discrepancy

WHILE C/W AD 93-24-03, THE RUDDER TORQUE TUBE ASSY WAS FOUND CRACKED AT THE UPPER ATTACH POINT WELDS ON BOTH SIDES OF THE TUBE.  THE UPPER ATTACH POINT OF THE TORQUE TUBE IS RIVETED TO THE RUDDER SKIN AND THESE RIVETS SHOWED SIGNS OF WORKING.  SUGGEST TECHNICIANS INSPECT THIS AREA EXTERNALLY FOR WORKING RIVETS WHICH MAY BE A SIGN THAT THE TORQUE TUBE WELDS ARE CRACKED.
