## Discrepancy

PILOT NOTICED RUDDER PEDALS STIFF DURING TAXI.  PILOT FELT RUDDER PEDALS GIVE WAY.  DURING INSPECTION, FOUND CO-PILOT'S RUDDER PEDAL TORQUE TUBE INBOARD AFT MOUNTING BRACKET BOLT PN AN3-7A SHEARED.  FOUND CO-PILOT'S INBOARD MOUNTING BRACKET BENT PN 11478-001 AND BUSHING PN 11504-001 DAMAGED.   BOLT APPEARS TO HAVE BEEN OVERTORQUED WHICH WEAKENED ITS SHEAR STRENGTH.   REPLACED BRACKET, BUSHING AND ALL HARDWARE.  SENT DAMAGE PARTS TO CIRRUS FOR ANALYSIS.
