## Discrepancy

(CAN) WHILE TOWING THE AIRCRAFT IT WAS NOTED THAT RIGHT HAND AXLE RETAINING BOLT AND TAB WASHER WERE MISSING. THIS ALLOWED THE NOSE WHEEL TO REPOSITION ABOUT 3/4 INCH TO THE LEFT. INSPECTION FOUND THE NOSE WHEEL SERVICEABLE. SUBMITTER SPECULATES THAT THE LOCKING TAB MAY HAVE BEEN DAMAGED AND ALLOWED THE BOLT TO BACK OUT.
