## Discrepancy

AIRCRAFT IS HARD TO CONTROL WHILE BRAKING.  A/C WILL NOT TURN RIGHT WHILE BRAKING, ALSO BRAKES MAKING A HOWLING NOISE.  MAINTENANCE FOUND RIGHT O/B MAIN TIRE BEARINGS EXCESSIVELY WORN, CAUSING TIRE TO WOBBLE AND BRAKES TO HOWL.  REPLACED RIGHT O/B MAIN TIRE AND BRAKE ASSEMBLY.  ALL CHECKS GOOD AT THIS TIME.
