Practice question

Why is checking for a 90-degree angle between the slack adjuster and pushrod not a reliable way to verify adjustment?

  1. The angle depends on pushrod length and installation geometry, not just adjustment
  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 just adjustment
