What was found

(CAN) WHILE DOING DAILY INSPECTION, THE R/H OLEO EXTENSION WAS LOW AND THERE WAS VERY LITTLE CLEARANCE BETWEEN TIRE AND LIGHT. IF OLEO HAD BOTTOMED OUT, THE LIGHT WOULD HAVE PRESSED INTO THE TIRE ABOUT 1/8". THE TIRE WAS NOT NEW. THE LIGHT WAS ADJUSTED TO PROVIDE CLEARANCE FOR THE TIRE. THE LIGHTS WERE ORIGINALLY INSTALLED IN ACCORDANCE WITH SB 560-33-12.
