## Discrepancy

(CAN) UPON INSPECTION OF THE MAIN LANDING GEAR, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE GEAR STRUT WAS MOVING FREELY IN THE STRUCTURE.  FURTHER INVESTIGATION REVEALED THE TOP MAIN BOLT WAS LOOSE.   THE NUT WAS ON ONLY HAND TIGHT.  THE ORIGINAL MANUFACTURER''S WITNESS SEAL WAS STILL INTACT.  NO DAMAGE WAS APPARENT TO THE STRUT, BOLT OR NUT.  BOLT AND NUT RE-INSTALLED AND TORQUED.
