## Discrepancy

(CAN) AFTER FINDING TWO OTHER GEAR BRACES CRACKED (SDR 20031126008, 20031126004) WE INSPECTED THE LT GEAR AND FOUND A POSSIBLE CRACK AT THE UPPER END OF THE RADIUS OF THE UPPER TORQUE KNEEBOSS. LIQUID PENETRANT WAS REQUIRED TO CONFIRM THE CRACK. IT STARTED AT THE TOP OF RADIUS AND TRAVELED DOWNWARD TO THE END OF THE GEAR BRACE. THE GEAR WAS REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT RETURNED TO SERVICE.
