       1 If the clearances are more than 0.5 mm (0.020 in.), continue the inspection procedure.
       2 If the clearances are less than 0.5 mm (0.020 in.), replace the THS actuator again.
NOTE: If this occurs, it is because you did not install one of the spacers (76) or one of the bushes (77) or (78). Because one spacer/bush was missing, you torqued the primary pin (75) against the THS actuator lugs which then caused damage to the component.
   (2) Examine the upper primary attachment on the THS actuator:
     (a) Make sure that the parts that follow are installed on the LH and RH sides:
  • The bearings (57)
  • The bushes (56)
  • The locking washers (55)
  • The retainer nuts (47)
  • The washers (44) and (if applicable) the shim(s) (45)
  • The attaching screws (42)
  • The locking wires.
     (b) Use a ruler to measure the depth of the sliding bush (48) for the LH and RH sides of the THS actuator:
  • Make sure that the depth is between 6.0 mm (0.236 in.) and 7.5 mm (0.295 in.).
    Measure from the radius of the two sides of the bolt (46).
   (3) Examine the upper secondary attachment of the THS actuator:
     (a) Make sure that the parts that follow are installed:
  • The ELSD (58)
  • The springboxes (85)
  • The locking washers (86)
  • The nuts (87).
     (b) Make sure that four lugs of each locking washer (86) are correctly bent.
     (c) Make sure that the bonding strap (89), the electrical connector (88) and the test plug (67) are correctly installed.
