## Discrepancy

PIVOT CRACKED NEARLY THE ENTIRE CIRCUMFERENCE IN THE RADIUS UNDER PN 2241111-2 INNER RACE.  IT IS NOT KNOWN IF A HARD LANDING OCCURRED.  PART HAD SOME AREAS OF INTERGRANULAR CORROSION AND IS IN THE EXHAUST STREAM.  NO EVIDENCE OF CORROSION IN AREA OF CRACK.  CRACK WAS DISCOVERED DUE TO SPONGY RT BRAKE AND 5606 FLUID LEAK INTO RACK AND PINION CHAMBER OF ASSOCIATED HYDRAULIC ACTUATOR.
