Commercial Airplanes 767 Service Bulletin SummaryNumber: 767-32A0227Original Issue: April 25, 2012 Revision 1: September 13, 2012 ATA System: 3211 SUBJECT: LANDING GEAR - Main Gear - Pivot Joint Configuration Change

CONCURRENT REQUIREMENTS None.

BACKGROUND Accomplishment of this service bulletin will change the configuration of the main landing gear (MLG) pivot joint to reduce the amount of heat generated in the pivot pin, truck beam lugs and the shock strut inner cylinder lugs during taxi, takeoff and landing. High levels of heat in the pivot joint can result in damage and cracks in the pivot pin, truck beam lugs and inner cylinder lugs. The cracks could lead to fracture of the pivot joint components which can result in the collapse of a MLG.

During MLG overhaul, pivot joint components have been found with cracks or heat damage eleven times on 767-400ER airplanes and 42 times on 767-200/-300/-300F airplanes. The earliest case of cracking was reported at approximately 7.8 years from delivery for the 767-400ER and 7 years from delivery for the 767-200/-300/-300F.

Heat damage and cracks were found at the pivot joint location which is caused by the truck pitching motion during normal airplane operations.

This service bulletin provides the instructions to install new bushings in the truck beam assemblies and shock strut inner cylinder assemblies of the MLGs to reduce friction in the pivot joint. Reduced friction in the pivot joint will lead to a lower amount of heat in the pivot joint which will prevent heat damage which can lead to cracks and/or fracture of the pivot joint components.
