| Summary of Issue | Missing S-cam Bushings |
| Justification or Need | In one of the photo's included the s-cam shaft is hitting against the drum affecting the performance of that brake. It was in adjustment, but because the s was hitting the drum was stopping brake travel. |
| Request for Action | To include completely missing any s-cam shaft bushing into the 20% rule along with other components missing or broken. |
