What was found
NOTED THAT THERE WERE OCCASIONAL RESTRICTIONS TO THE LATERAL MOVEMENT OF CYCLIC CONTROL. FURTHER DISCOVERED TWO WASHERS (PN AN960-416) ON BOTH SIDES OF LINK (PN 269A7117) WERE BECOMING JAMMED IN THE SLOT BECAUSE OF A WIDENING OF THE SLOT FROM WEAR. SUBMITTER SUGGESTED THESE TWO WASHERS BE REPLACED WITH DIFFERENT WASHERS (PN AN970-4). THESE WASHERS ARE SLIGHTLY SMALLER IN OUTSIDE DIAMETER AND THICKER, BUT ARE STILL LARGER IN DIAMETER THAN SLOT ON THE LINK. SUBMITTER IS A MECHANIC WITH AN INSPECTION AUTHORIZATION, AND APPROVED THIS CHANGE AS A MINOR ALTERATION WITH A MAINTENANCE LOG BOOK ENTRY. SUBMITTER STATED THIS PROBLEM COULD HAVE SERIOUS CONSEQUENCES SHOULD CYCLIC LATERAL MOVEMENT BECOME JAMMED.
