## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING REINSTALLATION OF THE NOSE LANDING GEAR CENTERING MECHANISM A CRACK WAS NOTICED IN THE MAIN BODY BEHIND THE MOUNTING BOSS OF THE CENTRING MECHANISM, THE CRACK AS 3/4 INCH IN LENGTH. THE LOCATION OF THE CRACK DOES NOT ALLOW IT TO BE VISIBLE WITH OUT REMOVING THE CENTERING MECHANISM.
