## Discrepancy

(CAN) SKIS OLD SURPLUS PARTS, 0 HRS, PUT INTO SERVICE 1 YR AGO. SKIS INSPECTED TO REATTACH TO AIRCRAFT, DISASSEMBLED FOR MAINTENANCE. UPON REMOVAL OF LINK ASSY FROM SKI PIVOT ATTACHMENT, BASE OF LINK FOUND CORRODED OUT AND U/S. CORROSION WOULD HAVE ONLY BEEN APPARENT DURING FULL DISASSEMBLE OF SKI, NOT A NORMAL PRACTICE. SKIS APPEAR TO HAVE BEEN OILED IAW ENGINEERING DWG, BUT 1 PLUG SCREW IS MISSING AND ANOTHER LOSE, LIKELY CAUSE OF WATER TO ENTER LINK ASSY. (TC NR 20071026010)
