## Discrepancy

(CAN) ON NORMAL WALK AROUND PILOT NOTICED STABILIZER BAR TUBE CRACKED AT SLEEVE AT IB END OF TUBE. STAB BAR ASSEMBLY WAS REPLACED AND MACHINE RETURNED TO SERVICE. AD 74-08-02 COVERS THIS ISSUE ON SOME OF THE LATER MODEL STAB BARS BUT NOT THE EARLIER MODELS OF STAB BARS. ALTHOUGH WE CHECK THIS AS PART OF OUR NORMAL PREFLIGHT CHECK AND THIS IS HOW IT WAS FOUND.
