## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING 100 HR INSPECTION THE ROD END JAM NUT OF THE ELEVATOR PUSH PULL ROD P/N 22-2730-02-00 WAS FOUND LOOSE. THE OPPOSITE ATTACHMENT OF THE PUSH PULL ROD IS SUCH THAT THERE IS NO POSSIBILITY OF THE ROD END TURNING IN THE TUBE THEREFORE THERE WAS NO LOSS OF RIGGING. JAM NUT WAS TIGHTENED AND AIRCRAFT RETURN TO SERVICE.
