## Discrepancy

DURING A PREFLIGHT INSPECTION THE CREW DISCOVERED THE LT OB BOTTOM THRUST REVERSER ARM WAS BROKEN AND HANGING DOWN AND THE TOP ARM ROD COVER WAS BENT UP.  MAINTENANCE REPLACED THE THRUST REVERSER ASSEMBLY.  SYSTEM OPERATIONAL CHECKS WERE SATISFACTORY AND NO LEAKS WERE NOTED.  THE AIRCRAFT WAS RETURNED TO SERVICE.
