Don't forget that 737's have had a number of problems with the rudder. Boeing supposedly told companies how to fix the screw type mechanism that controls the rudder. Maybe this wasn't fixed?
Air Alaska went down off California a few years ago because of this.

I think the Air Alaska was a DC-9?
The problem was with Jack Screw in the Horizontal Stabilizer. The problem with the 737s was in the hydraulic
system
