## Discrepancy

AILRON HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY.  CLEVIS ROD END BUSHING HAD EXCESSIVE PLAY.  WHEN NEW BUSHINGS, P/N 63900-119, WERE INSTALLED, THE OUTSIDE DIAMETER OF BUSHING WAS TOO SMALL (FELL OUT OF HOLE IN CLEVIS).  NEW CLEVIS, P/N 554 687, WAS CHECKED AND THE BUSHING COULD BE INSTALLED WITH FINGER PRESSURE.  BOLT AN 3-10 WOULD NOT GO THROUGH INSIDE DIAMETER OF BEARING.  HAD TO REAM ID OF BUSHING.  BUSHING, P/N 63900-119, OUTSIDE DIAMETER IS TOO SMALL AND INSIDE DIAMETER OF BUSHING TOO SMALL.  CONTACTED PIPER SERVICE REP 4/94 ABOUT SAME PROBLEM.  TOTAL TIME OF NEW PARTS WAS 697.8 HOURS.  SUBMITTER RECOMMENDS PART DIMENSIONS BE ADJUSTED.
