If the countershaft oil seal IS subjected to extreme oil pressure variation, the countershaft oil seal may be split, allowing oil to leak. Leaking oil can come into contact with the rear tire, which can result in traction reduction.
Vehicles may contain a spring brake piston rod with improperly heat treated rollers. This may cause the rollers to be too brittle, and therefore, subject to breaking. Roller failure can cause loss of effective parking and emergency brakes…
