## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A SCHEDULED INSPECTION, THE RT AND LT NLG SLIDE BRACKETS WERE FOUND CORRODED AND DEFORMED CAUSING EXCESSIVE PLAY IN BOTH NLG LEG ASSEMBLIES. THE GEAR WAS DISASSEMBLED AND THE SLIDE BRACKETS, P/N 35A-42022L AND PN 35A-42022R WERE REPLACED WITH NEW PARTS TO RECTIFY THE DEFECTS.  THE GEAR WAS RE ASSEMBLED, AND FUNCTION CHECKS WERE CARRIED OUT.
