## Discrepancy

(CAN) THE ENGINEER WAS INSPECTING THE T/R SWASHPLATE ASSEMBLY AS PER AD 2000-222-076(A) AND FOUND THE PAINTED INDENT MARKS WERE NOT ALIGNED. THE T/R SWASHPLATE ASSEMBLY WAS REMOVED AND SENT TO OUR COMPONENT SHOP. UPON DISASSEMBLE IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BEARING HAD SPUN ON THE ROTATING SPIDER.
