stroke measurement tool is now standard with every Meritor automatic slack adjuster. Installed at the base of the air brake chamber pushrod, the SimpleCheck disc provides an accurate marker for visual inspections of applied chamber stroke on cam brake-equipped vehicles. SimpleCheck helps to quickly identify out-of adjustment brakes, one of the top-10 causes of violations in compliance, safety, accountability (CSA) roadside inspections. The tool also reduces pre-trip inspection time and the need for drivers to perform under-the-trailer inspections for air brake stroke verification.
• Educational videos. A new collection of videos is available to help inform fleets, owner-operators and drivers on preparing their vehicles for compliance, safety, accountability (CSA) roadside inspections. Part of Meritor’s ongoing “Cover Your Assets” (C.Y.A.) educational campaign, the “C.Y.A.with CSA Video Series” focuses on key violations. It also includes expert inspection advice on pre-trip preparation to identify and correct component issues prior to departure.

With the addition of the Meritor AllFit premium gears, the Drivetrain Direct program now features full differential gearing coverage for all makes of axles.
