## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A DAILY INSPECTION THE COLLECTIVE LEVER SPHERICAL BEAING, P/N 206-010-470-101, WAS FOUND TO HAVE ROTATED IN THE COLLECTIVE LEVER. THE ORIGINAL BHT WHITNESS MARKS WERE FOUND MISALIGNED DUE TO THE ROTATION.  THE ROLL STAKING FAILED, ALLOWING THE SPHERICAL BEARING TO ROTATE.  COLLECTIVE LEVER WILL BE ROUTED TO THE COMPONENT OVERHAUL SHOP FOR INSPECTION, EVALUATION AND REPLACEMENT OF THE SPECRICAL BEARING. (TC# 20090911005)
