## Discrepancy

(CAN) DURING INSPECTION, IT WAS FOUND THAT THE PUSH/PULL ROD FOR THE ELEVATOR TRIM TAB WAS SEVERELY WORN.  THE WEAR SPOT OCCURRED WHERE THE PUSH/PULL ROD RUNS THROUGH THE B/H AND CONTACTS TWO ROLLERS WHICH IT RIDES ON.  THE PUSH/PULL ROD WAS REPLACED.  THE ROLLERS HAD WORN THROUGH THE ROD.
