## Discrepancy

PROPELLER PITCH CHANGE THROUGH-LINKS AND ROD-END BEARINGS.  INSPECTION FOUND NUT LOOSE ON STUD HOLDING ROD-END BEARING.  NUT HAD DEFECTIVE SELF-LOCKING FEATURE.  A FIX WAS DONE BY USING STEEL LOCK NUTS WITH LOCK-TITE.  ALSO, NO SAFETY WASHERS WERE USED ON THOSE ROD-ENDS.  SUBMITTER FEELS SAFETY WASHERS SHOULD BE ADDED.
