    I think you can get out of this ticket.

    1.) where does it say slack adjusters need to match? As far as I know they only have to be in spec.

    2.) she did not list the broken drive shaft.

    Courts are weird, if you can find a falsehood on an official document you call into question the entire document. (I had a buddy with a seatbelt violation, the officer dutifully went to the rear of the truck and wrote down the plate number, of the trailer! Case dismissed.)

    Can any LEO's or former LEO's back me up on this?

    That's a great criticism coming from someone I strongly doubt has ever inspected u-joints, carrier bearings, etc. before.

    Tell me, do you know if the yoke nut is getting loose on your driveshaft going into the power-divider?
     
    Skate-Board and NavigatorWife Thank this.

    I think people from Wisconsin hate those from the great state of Illinois due to the fact many residents from Illinois have on paper for tax reasons Wisconsin as their official residence. This has resulted in the price of property going up and forcing cheese heads even further from civilization. Lol. :biggrin_25520:

    Cops are always waiting for Illinois residents heading to Lake Geneva. Fines are double for outsiders I believe.

    To the OP: Mismatched slack adjusters is perhaps the easiest thing to spot on the brakes. It should be very obvious if you have different slacks across an axle.

    That said, an hour and twenty minutes is freaking ridiculous for a level 1, it's obvious she wasn't done until she found something. Some days it just sucks to be you, if you know what I mean. Stay out here long enough, and it'll happen to everyone at some point, doesn't matter how tight of a ship you run, you'll find one who just won't be happy until you have a ticket in hand.
