## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE ACCOMPLISHING THE REQUIREMENTS OF SB 2/55, CRACKS WERE DETECTED ON THE LOWER LUGS OF BOTH WING LIFT STRUTS. IN BOTH CASES THE CRACKS WERE LOCATED ON THE IB FACE OF THE LUG AND WERE .7500 INCH LONG LT STRUT P/N C2W1103A, S/N 0140 WAS CRACKED ON THE AFT FACE OF THE FWD LUG RT STRUT P/N C2W1104A S/N 0113 WAS CRACKED ON THE FWD FACE OF THE AFT LUG. S. B. 2/41 WAS COMPLETED 1 YEAR AGO WITH NO FAULTS FOUND AT THAT TIME. THE AC OPERATES EXCLUSIVELY ON FLOATS IN A CORROSIVE ENVIRONMENT. BOTH STRUTS WERE REPLACED AND THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE. TAT 18060.1 (TC NR 20071108003)
