## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS GROUNDED: MAINTENANCE REPORTS AFTER ARRIVAL IN LAX, MAINTENANCE DISCOVERED LH MLG TIRE #2 BURST CAUSEING DAMAGE TO THE INBOARD LH FLAP, BROKEN BRACKET AND BENT HYDRAULIC LINES IN THE MLG WHEEL WELL. MAINTENANCE REMOVED AND REPLACED #2 MLG WHEEL AND TIRE ASSEMBLY IAW AMM 32-41-11. CHECKS OKAY.
