Application decision record

What must be confirmed.

The review separates selection, installation and field evidence so responsibility and open points remain clear.

01

Selection inputs

  • Service chamber or spring-brake function and size
  • Stroke, push-rod length, clevis and mounting geometry
  • Slack-adjuster spline, arm length, handing and brake type
  • Available installation envelope and thermal or road exposure
02

Installation review

  • Confirm bracket alignment and push-rod working angle
  • Verify stroke and clearance through application and release
  • Avoid preload, side loading or interference through axle travel
  • Complete parking-brake release and mechanical-security checks
03

Service evidence

  • Applied and released push-rod stroke
  • Chamber pressure and leakage result
  • Slack-adjuster position, spline and free movement
  • Foundation-brake wear, damage and temperature evidence
Verification focus
