More info would be appreciated...........

What are the bearings at the other end of the PCL's like? What is the condition of the bearing in the Pitch Change spider. It's a while since I have worked on a 350 but these contact marks look pretty bad. From memory the PCL's actually drive the Pitch change slider. If the inner bearings (rubber) are U/S it may allow the spider to get out of whack with the blades. What made the contact marks on the Spherical Feathering bearing? As an aside this TR looks like it's lacking a LOT of TLC for such a critical component!! Intergranular corrosion on the pitch horn visible? Tell us what the PCL bearings are like on the Spider end.
