## Discrepancy

DEPRESSURIZED LT PITCH DAMPER & LT BOGIE WOULD PIVOT FREELY.  REINSTALLED RT PITCH DAMPER & RECHARGED NITROGEN IN LT PITCH DAMPER.  LOWERED ACFT & RELOCATED TO HANGAR 11.  NEW PITCH DAMPER AT ACFT STAIRS AND BOGIE PIN IF REQUIRED.  BUSHINGS REPAIRED.  COMPLIED WITH W/C 32T0008 FOR FUNCTIONAL CHECKS AND GEAR SWINGS.
