## Discrepancy

DURING ROUTINE INSPECTION OF AD 94-24-04, THE DUPLEX BEARING WAS LOOSE (AXIALLY) INSIDE OF PITCH CONTROL HOUSING (369A1802) - THE ENTIRE BEARING INCLUDING THE OUTER HOUSING OF THE BEARING.  THIS COULD ALLOW THE BEARING TO SPIN INSIDE THE HOUSING.  SUBMITTER STATED SHOULD BE PRESSURE FIT.
