## Discrepancy

(CAN) WE HAD AN INSPECTION OF THE BAGGAGE DOOR ON ONE OF OUR DASH 8S, S/N 357, PER TASK 5230/51 AND  DURING THAT INSPECTION, WE FOUND THE AFT COUNTER BALANCE SUPPORT P/N 85230480-104 WAS CRACKED. I AM SUBMITING A STRUCTURAL DEFECT REPORT FOR S/N 257. AIRCRAFT S/N 357 WAS DONE ON 3-3-01 AND HAD A TAT 16.286.6 AND TCY 26, 179. PART REPLACED.
