BOEING 737 SDR # 20040519014
Spoiler Actuator Cracked
While taxiing to the gate, the aircraft experienced a loss of nose wheel steering accompanied with the total loss of hydraulic system "A" pressure and quantity.
Maintenance found the #8 ground spoiler actuator to be the cause. The actuator body had structurally failed causing the fluid loss. The actuator was replaced and aircraft returned to service.
The actuator was routed to the maintenance provider's shop with request for full report.
The SDR database contains other examples of this type of failure. Maintainers are encouraged to pay close attention to this area in an attempt to detect the leak and possibly prevent component in service failure.

Control Cable Corroded
During a structural repair to the right rear wing-to-fuselage frame angle, a panel at WS 60.80 adjacent to the rear spar, had to be drilled off to facilitate the repair.
Corrosion was discovered on the rudder/aileron interconnect cable, P/N 215-90381-2, which lies directly under this panel. The corrosion was removed and upon a closer inspection, several broken strands were noticed.
The maintenance manual was consulted and it was determined that the cable was damaged beyond limits. The cable was removed and replaced with a serviceable one. It is worth noting that the damage would be impossible to spot had it not been for the removal of the riveted panel. This is an area that is normally inaccessible.
When maintenance is being performed in areas where access could not normally be gained, AME's are reminded to be diligent and check for additional defects.
