## Discrepancy

DURING FLIGHT, THE CREW NOTICED A VIBRATION COMING FROM THE NR 2 ENGINE FOLLOWED BY NR 2 ENGINE GENERATOR FAIL ANNUNCIATION ILLUMINATING ON THE PANEL.  THE CREW ELECTED TO DIVERT.  ON APPROACH, VIBRATION BECAME WORSE, SO THE CREW DECIDED TO SHUTDOWN THE NR 2 ENGINE.  THE AIRCRAFT LANDED WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.  A MECHANIC TRAVELED TO AC AND REPLACED THE NR 2 GENERATOR.  SYS WAS OPERATIONALLY CHECKED GOOD.  ON INSPECTION OF THE FAILED GENERATOR, IT APPEARS THE FWD BEARING FAILED CAUSING THE VIBRATION.  THE AC WAS FLOWN BACK TO DEPARTURE WITHOUT FURTHER INCIDENT.
