What was found

(CAN) SIDE STAY PIN INSTALLATION DURING INVESTIGATION, IT WAS DISCOVERED THAT THE SIDE STAY PIN WAS INSTALLED INCORRECTLY & WAS NOT KEYED INTO THE LOCKING PLATE CORRECTLY. THIS CAUSED DAMAGE TO THE LOCKING PLATE & THE PIN. THIS DISCREPANCY ALSO CAUSED A TOTAL GAP, APPROX 0.070, BETWEEN SSA SPHERICAL BEARING & THE PIN WHERE THE SSA IS NOT TIGHT AT ITS ATTACHMENT & COULD MOVE FWD & AFTERWARD.
