## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER HAVING PROBLEMS WITH A LOW TIME ACTUATOR ON ONE OTHER AIRCRAFT, WE DECIDED TO CHECK ALL ACTUATORS THAT WERE OVERHAULED BY THAT SUPPLIER.  DURING SPECIAL INSPECTION OF THIS ACTUATOR, WE FOUND THAT THE LANDING GEAR MOTOR SEEMED TO BE WORKING HARDER THAN USUAL. WE REMOVED THE ACTUATOR FROM THE AIRCRAFT AND FOUND THE ACTUATOR WAS HARDER TO TURN THEN OTHERS AND IT WAS BINDING IN CERTAIN AREAS. THE ACTUATOR WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
