Why do federal inspection standards set a maximum allowable pushrod stroke for each brake chamber size?

Pick an answer

1. Beyond that stroke length, the brake cannot apply enough force to stop the vehicle safely
2. Stroke length limits apply only to steering axle brakes
3. Pushrod stroke only affects chamber noise, not the braking force produced at the wheel
4. The limit exists only to standardize brake chamber manufacturing
