## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A 50 HOUR INSPECTION, IT WAS NOTICED THAT THE EXHAUST STAY STRUT WAS BROKEN AT THE THREADED PART OF THE EYE-END.  A NEW STRUT ASSEMBLY WAS INSTALLED AND ADJUSTED FOR PROPER FIT.  THE SUBMITTER STATES THAT HAD THE NUT LOOSENED OFF, THE EYE END COULD HAVE SWUNG DOWN AND INTERFERRED WITH THE THROTTLE MOVEMENT.  THE SUBMITTER ALSO RECOMMMENDED THAT THE STRUT BE INSTALLED WITH A MINIMUM TENSION TO RELIEVE ANY STRESS ON THE THREADED PORTION AND THE NUT BE CHECKED FOR SECURITY AT EACH SCHEDULED INSPECTION.
