## Discrepancy

WHEN INSTALLING UPPER HINGE PER STC, FOUND WHEN NEW HINGE INSTALLED, RUDDER UPPER MOUNT WOULD NOT LINE UP STRAIGHT.  VISUAL INSPECTION OF ARM REVEALED BEARING BOSS IN ARM DRILLED OFF CENTER CAUSING THIS PROBLEM ALONG WITH RUDDER CHAFING ON VERTICAL STABILIZER SKIN WHEN RUDDER AT EXTREME RIGHT TRAVEL.  PART CAME FROM FACTORY LIKE THIS.  REPLACED ARM WITH NEW WITH NO DISCREPANCIES NOTED.
