TEXT: Your assistance in the past has certainly been appreciated and informative. So may we ask for your insight into another issue affecting highway safety.

Does the removal of drum-brake self-adjusters from a vehicle constitute a violation of the anti-tampering provisions of the Clean Air Act, the National Traffic and Motor Vehicle Safety Act, or any other Federal law, regulation, or standard?

As always, thank you very much for your continuing interest and assistance.
