## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT CAME IN WITH REPORT STATING LEFT T/R FAILS TO STOW AFTER DEPLOY CYCLE.  REMOVED ACCESS PANELS TO TROUBLESHOOT.  FOUND LOWER REVERSER DOOR LINK SEPARATED FROM ROD END.  AFTER A VISUAL INSPECTION OF LINK AND ROD END, ROD END ENGAGEMENT INTO LINK WAS APPROXIMATELY 2-1/2 THREADS.  CHECKED UPPER LINK TO ROD END AND FOUND THE SAME THREAD ENGAGEMENT.
