The brake on each end of an axel should have a different sized air brake chamber to ensure brake forces are balanced.

  1. True

  2. False

  3. Depends on the vehicle's weight

  4. Depends on the brake system

The correct answer is: False

This statement is false because the size of the air brake chambers on each end of an axle should actually be the same size. This ensures that the brake forces are balanced and the vehicle can come to a smooth and controlled stop. Depending on the weight of the vehicle and the type of brake system, the size of the air brake chambers may vary. However, it is important to maintain equal sized chambers on each end of an axle for proper braking performance. Therefore, option B is incorrect. Options C and D may be factors to consider when determining the size of the air brake chambers, but they are not directly related to the statement being true or false. Based on the statement alone, option A may seem like a plausible answer, but it is incorrect as explained previously.
