## Discrepancy

AFTER TAKEOFF AUTO SPOILER DO NOT USE LIGHT ILLUMINATED WITH RT MAIN GEAR UNSAFE INDICATION.  ACFT YAW & NOISE WAS NOTED BY FLIGHT CREW & FLIGHT ATTENDANTS.

REPLACED RT MLG ACTUATOR IAW AMM 32-32-02 DUE TO INTERNAL STOP BROKEN.  ALSO REPLACED RT MLG ACTUATOR UPPER & LOWER LINKS DUE TO DAMAGE CAUSED BY ACTUATOR FAILURE.
