What was found
STEERING ROD END, HAS SLID INTO PUSHROD TUBE, AND ATTACHED VIA 2 (.1562) SOLID RIVETS. RIVETS WERE NOT PROPERLY DRIVEN DUE TO COMPRESSING INSIDE HOLLOW PORTION OF TUBE INSTEAD OF AT SHOP HEAD, ALLOWING ROD END TO COME LOOSE. SEPARATION WOULD CAUSE LOSS OF NOSE STEERING CONTROL. RECOMMEND REPLACEMENT OF SOLID RIVETS WITH CHERRYMAX RIVETS IN ORIGINAL HOLES. (NM07200504925) (K)
