## Discrepancy

UPON LANDING AND SLOWING TO TAXI SPEED LT BRAKE PEDAL APPLICATION RESULTS IN LT BRAKE GRABBING. THIS HAPPENS ON THE CO-PILOTS SIDE AND CONTINUES DURING TAXI.  BRAKES FEEL SPONGY ON CO-PILOTS SIDE.  DURING TAXI THE MAIN LANDING GEAR IS MAKING A LOUD GROWLING NOISE WHEN THE BRAKES ARE APPLIED.   REMOVED AND REPLACED BRAKE METERING VALVE.  OPERATIONAL AND LEAK CHECKS GOOD.  WORK PEFORMED IAW MM 32-44-20.
