## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THAT THE TOP RUDDER ATTACHMENT PIN BUSHING WAS MISSING. FURTHER INSPECTION REVEALED THE BUSHING HAD FALLEN OUT AND WAS SITTING IN A VOID AREA BELOW THE ASSEMBLY. THE BUSHING WAS RE-INSTALLED IAW MFG INSTRUCTION. THE RUDDER HAD NEVER BEEN REMOVED SINCE MANUFACTURE. (TC NR 20070322003)
