## Discrepancy

FOUND RIGHT LOWER AFT ELASTOMER PAD BROKEN LOOSE FROM THE NODAL BEAM.  SUBMITTER STATES THIS IS A COMMON OCCURRENCE ON ENTIRE FLEET.  IT APPEARS THE OIL AND GREASE IN THIS AREA CONTRIBUTES TO THE BREAKING LOOSE OF THE BOND SURFACE.  THIS WOULD STOP IF A BETTER DESIGNED NODAL BEAM FLEXURE ASSY WAS USED OR A BETTER BOND MATERIAL WAS USED.
