## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION, FOUND LEFT RUDDER CABLE WITH BROKEN WIRE STRANDS.  THE CABLE WAS DAMAGED AT THE FAIRLEAD BRACKET FORWARD OF FS 400.50.  THE TEFLON FAIRLEAD, PN S338-3, CAUSES DAMAGE TO CABLE WHERE EVER INSTALLED IN THE AIRCRAFT.  SUBMITTER STATED A NEW MATERIAL FOR THE FAIRLEAD SHOULD BE LOOKED AT.
