## Discrepancy

UPON REMOVAL OF RED AND YELLOW STAR-FLEX ASSEMBLY, ONE BUSHING WAS FOUND UNSCREWED FROM THE UPPER ARM.  THE CAUSE MAY BE EITHER A POOR BOND OF BUSHING TO STAR-FLEX ARM OR A POOR CLEANING OF BOLT PRIOR TO USE OF NEW MASTONOX AT LAST BEARING CHANGE.  SUBMITTER STATED TO ALWAYS CLEAN AND INSPECT PARTS PRIOR TO RE-USE.
