## Discrepancy

ON 4-28-97, THE AIRCRAFT EXPERIENCED A VERY NOTICEABLE VIBRATION AND NOISE AFTER DEPARTURE.  CREW WAS ABLE TO DETERMINE THAT IT CHANGED WITH THROTTLE MOVEMENT.  ACFT RETURNED TO BASE, THE LEFT STARTER/GENERATOR WAS PULLED AND CHECKED.  UPON INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THERE WAS A LOT OF PLAY IN THE AFT BEARING.  THE STARTER/GENERATOR WAS REPLACED.
