## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING A 200 HR INSPECTION THE RT PEDAL WAS FOUND LOOSE.  A MORE IN DEPTH INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE BUSHING ON THE INSIDE OF THE LOWER PART OF THE ASSEMBLY WAS MISSING.  THE TUBE ON THE INTERCONNECT DID NOT SHOW SIGNS OF WEAR. THE BUSHING WAS NOT LOCATED IN THE ACFT AND THE ASSY AS A WHOLE WAS STILL IN TACK.
