172R Rudder skin.

Hi Guys and Girls.

I have a couple of questions about the C172R:

1. In a few, I have seen have skin buckling around the lowest rudder hinge. What causes it? Is it dangerous?
(I must say that for as many with this condition, I have seen just as many that seem to have been repaired)

2. When doing a pilots' pre-flight inspection, are there any 172-specific tell-tale signs of overstress (overspeed, hard landings, hard manouvering, the works) I can check for before going up?

Thanks in advance
