## Discrepancy

(CAN) FOUND DURING INSPECTION, 4 FLEX SHAFT ASSEMBLIES CRACKED ON THE SWAGED FITTING ENDS ON 2 THRUST REVERSERS ON OUR ACFT.  2 WERE FOUND ON THE LT ENGINE AND 2 ON THE RT ENGINE. 3 WERE PN 121754-2 AND ONE 121754-3.   LOOKING AT THE FAILED PARTS IT APPEARS THAT THE MATERIAL IS ALUMINUM.  ALL CRACKS WERE SIMILAR IN NATURE.  PARTS HAVE BEEN SENT TO MFG FOR EVALUATION.
