## Discrepancy

NOTED THE LT AND RT CYCLIC MOVEMENTS WERE GETTING STIFFER AS TIME WENT ON. UPON INVESTIGATION THE LATERAL CYCLIC CONTROL ROD END PN 101-126TMG WAS FOUND SEVERALLY CORRODED CAUSING IT TO BIND.  THE PART WAS REPLACED DURING A RECENT 12 YEAR INSP THAT WAS COMPLETED IN MARCH 2010.  A NEW ROD END WAS INSTALLED AND THE ACFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.  TECH SUPPORT HAS BEEN ADVISED OF THE DEFECT.
