Where are the air brake chambers located?
- Near the compressor
- At each front wheel
- At each wheel ✓
- At each rear wheel
Answer: C. At each wheel
Air brake chambers are located at each wheel.
Why this is the answer
The handbook describes the foundation brake as the brake assembly at each wheel, and it lists the brake chamber as one of the parts in that assembly. The chamber is therefore part of the air-operated brake parts around every wheel, not a single component placed somewhere else on the vehicle.
Why the other answers are wrong
- A. Near the compressor — The passage does not put the brake chamber near the compressor; it describes the chamber as part of the brake assembly around each wheel.
- B. At each front wheel — Limiting the chamber to the front wheels leaves out the brake assembly the handbook describes at each wheel.
- D. At each rear wheel — Limiting it to the rear wheels also conflicts with the handbook's description of a brake assembly at each wheel.
Remember it
Picture the chamber riding with the wheel it operates, not gathered at one end of the truck.
