## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT WAS ON SEISMIC DRILL MOVE JOB.  THE ENGINEER WAS DOING HIS DAILY INSPECTION WHEN NOTICED THAT ONE EAR OF THE LIFT LINK FITTING WAS APPEARED CRACKED.  A CLOSER VISUAL LOOK CONFIRMED IT WAS CRACKED.  INVESTIGATING IF  THE BUSHING WAS WRONG FOR THIS INSTALLATION.  THE BELL 205 PARTS MANUAL AND TB 205-91-88 ARE NOT TO CLEAR OF THE DIFFERENT BUSHINGS NEEDED.
