Steering truss damage limit

[DonMuncy]

We are all aware that 1/32 inch is the maximum dent allowed for truss damage. Does anybody know where this is documented. Service Bulletin? AD?

I am aware of the 1/32 rule - not sure where it's stated.

 

remember, a detent, or a paint chip may not be 1/32.

 

Mine has a slight depression, but multiple mechanics have said it's right no the line but not past 1/32.  Any more and I need a new truss.

It is in the maintenance manual under inspections. Section under landing gear and retraction inspection. There is a note that the max damage due to towing is 1/32 " dent.
