Practice question

Why is checking only for a 90-degree angle between slack adjuster and pushrod not a reliable adjustment verification?

  1. The angle depends on pushrod length and installation geometry, not adjustment alone
  2. The angle is always exactly 45 degrees on a good brake
  3. The method works only if the low-air warning is disconnected
  4. It measures reservoir moisture instead of stroke

Answer: A — The angle depends on pushrod length and installation geometry, not adjustment alone
