## Discrepancy

DURING INSPECTION MAINTENANCE CREW NOTED THAT THE RIGHT HAND ENGINE OUTBOARD EXHAUST SUPPORT TURNBUCKLE HAD SHEARED CAUSING THE TAILPIPE TO REST ON THE BOTTOM OF THE EXHAUST SHROUD INSTEAD OF BEING SUPPORTED IN THE CENTER.  THE TURNBUCKLE WAS REPLACED WITH A SERVICEABLE PART AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
