measurement recorded in step 4. The difference is the
push rod travel or adjusted chamber stroke.

length is correct for the size and type of air chambers on
the vehicle.
If push rod travel is greater than the maximum stroke shown
in Table 8-3 or Table 8-4, inspect the slack adjuster and
replace it if necessary.
