## 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 BULKHEAD AND CONTACTS THE ROLLERS WHICH IT RIDES ON. THE ROD WAS REMOVED AND INSPECTED-THE ROLLERS HAD WORN THROUGH THE ROD. THE ROD WAS INSPECTED.
