When brake linings are replaced which of the following should be inspected?
- Camber
- Wheel cylindersAnswer
- Both A and B
- Neither A nor B
Why that is right
The wheel cylinders should be inspected because of the possibility of leakage at the wheel cylinder that may not be excessive enough to see from the outside of the brake drum. Camber has no relationship with the question.
Why the other options are wrong
- Camber — Camber is a wheel alignment angle and has no relationship to a brake reline; replacing linings does not affect or require checking camber. It is included only to tempt someone into the 'Both' answer.
- Both A and B — This requires both items to be correct, but camber is unrelated to a brake lining job. Only the wheel cylinders warrant inspection at reline, so 'Both A and B' is wrong.
- Neither A nor B — This claims nothing needs inspecting, but the wheel cylinders must be checked for internal leakage that may not be visible externally when the linings are replaced. Because B is a valid inspection, 'Neither' is incorrect.
