## Discrepancy

(CAN) PILOT REPORTED THAT THE AIRCRAFT WOULD ENTER INTO PYLON ROCK VERY EASILY. TRANSMISSION MOUNTS AND FRICTION DAMPERS WERE BEING REPLACED WHEN IT WAS FOUND THAT THE FRICTION DAMPER MOUNT SUPPORTS WERE CRACKED AND AS A RESULT NOT ATTACHED TO THE AIRFRAME. SUPPORTS WERE REPLACED, NEW MOUNTS AND DAMPERS INSTALLED. A/C TEST FLOWN, PYLON ROCK WAS NO LONGER PRESENT, A/C RETURNED TO SERVICE.
