What is a reliable method for inspecting brake adjustment?

  1. Visual inspection of the brake pads

  2. Listening for brake noises

  3. Measuring the applied pushrod stroke

  4. Checking brake fluid level

The correct answer is: Measuring the applied pushrod stroke

Option A, visual inspection of the brake pads, may not always accurately reflect the actual condition of the brake adjustment. The brake pad may still have some remaining thickness, even if the brake adjustment is not correct. Therefore, this option is not the most reliable method. Option B, listening for brake noises, may indicate that there is an issue with the brakes, but it does not specifically indicate if the brake adjustment is correct or not. It may require additional inspections or tests to determine the brake adjustment. Option D, checking brake fluid level, is important for overall brake health and performance, but it does not specifically indicate if the brake adjustment is correct or not. It is not the most reliable method for inspecting brake adjustment. Option C, measuring the applied pushrod stroke, is the most reliable method for inspecting brake adjustment as it directly measures the amount of brake pushrod travel and
