## Discrepancy

(CAN) FITTING CRACKED AT UPPER ATTACHMENT HOLE. SAME CRACK FOUND WHEN OPPOSITE SIDE WAS INSPECTED. THESE PARTS ARE LOCATED ON BOTH LEFT AND RIGHT MAIN LANDING GEAR. THEY ARE THE BRACKET USED TO ATTACH THE UPPER RETRACTION ARM TO THE WING SPAR. ( LT BRACKET P/N 95643-08, RT BRACKET P/N 95643-09.)
