## Discrepancy

THERE IS A 1 INCH CRACK IN THE FWD TRANSVERSE BEAM OF THE RT TORQUE BOX AT FS 1273 AND A 3 INCH CRACK IN THE AFT SIDE GUSSET.  THE INBD UPPER CHORD HAS A 4 INCH LONGITUDINAL CRACK.  THESE AREAS OF THE TORQUE BOX ARE THE SUBJECT OF AIRWORTHINESS DIRECTIVE 94-07-08, WHICH REQUIRES INSPECTION PER S/B 53-0129.  THIS ER/A WILL REPLACE/REPAIR THE DAMAGED PARTS IN ACCORDANCE WITH THE S/B.  IN ADDITION, THE INBD WEB WILL BE CUT TO FACILITATE PART REPLACEMENT.
