| Summary of Issue | In Part II of the North American Standard Out-of-Service Criteria (OOSC), item 8. STEERING MECHANISMS, e. Pitman Arm (1) Any looseness of the pitman arm on the steering gear output shaft. |
| Justification or Need | Clarification of why "Any" looseness of the pitman arm to the output shaft is OOS and "Any" looseness of the yoke to gear input shaft is OOS, but no mention of any looseness of the output shaft within the gear box. |
| Request for Action | Need an update to the OOS or an explanation why the output shaft being loose in the steering gear box is not an imminent hazard. |
