## Discrepancy

THE CREW REPORTED THAT THE LEFT THRUST REVERSER LOWER CLAM EXTEND ARM HAD BROKEN WHERE IT BOLTS TO BUCKET CAUSING THE OVERLAP OF THE UPPER BUCKET FLANGE TO BEND UPWARD.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE LEFT THRUST REVERSER ASSEMBLY.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE FOLLOWING SATISFACTORY OPERATIONAL CHECKS OF THE THRUST REVERSER SYSTEM.
