737 Reverser Doors

We manage a 737-700 (private) and seem to have allot of broken parts in a very low time airframe. Are there any Ppruners out there that have experiences a simular situation? Our main problem seems to be a very Short Lifespan of 737 Reverser Doors and Links. The next problem area is the fuel panels are getting spotted with corrosion, which seems to me could be due to poor primer coverage.

Is this comon?

cant speak for the ng series but have worked 3/400's for 14 yrs and the reverser drag links and links to the doors ' the bushes and bearings allways flog out as for the tank panels they are just as bad for corrosion just ask the boys at qantas in melbourne at present repalcing a lwr wing skin due to corrosion. Allways a problem allways will be , just take the overtime and pay off the family home

Ok here's th gen: The bearings on the link arms on the blocker doors are corroding and seizing. This causes the arms to shear. It is most prevailent on low cycle / high humidity aircraft. If you need any other info, pm me with an e mail adress and I'll send you a pdf of it all.
