## Discrepancy

BOTH THE FORWARD HORIZONTAL STABILIZER ATTACH HINGE BRACKETS (C3FS472-7 RT AND C3FS473-7 LT) WERE FOUND TO BE BUSHED BEYOND SERVICEABLE LIMITS.  VIKING AIR HAD GIVEN A MAXIMUM OD OVERSIZE BUSHING OF .500.  DURING INSPECTION THE BUSHINGS WERE MEASURED AT .650 + BOTH BRACKETS WERE REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS.
