Summary of Issue

How do differences in braking across a steering axle lead to considering an otherwise effective brake to be defective.

Justification or Need

There are other factors that influence side-to-side brake force that are equally as serious as mismatched brake chamber and slack adjuster sizes.

Request for Action

Consider other conditions for the OOSC on a steering axle.
