## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION IT WAS NOTED THE BEARING ON THE LOAD COMPENSATOR WAS LOOSE AND COULD BE PUSHED OUT OF THE COMPENSATOR BODY.  THE BEARING IS STAKED INTO POSTION AT THE MFG AND THE MARKINGS FROM THE PROCEDURE WERE ON THE BODY, BUT THE STAKING WAS NOT SUFFIECIENT TO HOLD THE BEARING IN PLACE.
