## Discrepancy

(CAN) ELEVATOR TORQUE SHAFT VISUAL INSPECTION INDICATED SOME CORROSION ON THE BOTTOM OF THE SHAFT AFTER REMOVAL IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT CORROSION HAD CREATED MULTIPLE HOLES IN THE SHAFT.  NOTE THIS SHAFT GETS WET AFTER RAIN OR AIRCRAFT WASHING AND MAY STAY SUSPENDED FOR SOME TIME.  TORQUE SHAFT REPLACED AND CHECKED SERVICEABLE.
