## Discrepancy

UPON RE-INSTALLATION OF RUDDER AFTER INSTALLATION OF S/B 45-55-6, FOUND THAT THE RUDDER TRAVEL WAS APPROXIMATELY 25 DEGREES IN LIEU OF 30 +/-1 DEGREES AS PER LEARJET AMM 27-20-00.  WHEN TRAVEL WAS CORRECTED, DISCOVERED THAT THE BOTTOM SKIN OF RUDDER WAS CONTACTING THE SKIN PRIOR TO ACHIEVING FULL TRAVEL.. THE RUDDER WAS REPLACED WITH SAME P/N (S/N 0155). NO OTHER ACTION WAS REQUIRED AT THAT TIME.
