| 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. |
