When performing an inspection on the steering linkage, drivers:
  1. Drivers are not qualified to check steering linkage and should not perform this check.
  2. Should check that links, rods, and arms are not worn or cracked.
  3. Can ignore cracks and worn links, rods, or arms, as this is normal.
  4. Not report damage found on their inspection report.
Explanation
Answer: B - When performing an inspection on the steering linkage drivers should always check the links, rods, and arms connecting the steering box to the wheel to ensure there are no serious cracks or serious wear. While some wear and tear is normal, deep cracks and severe wearing should be reported. Inspecting the steering linkage is a part of the driver's responsibilities and should be conducted as part of the pre-trip inspection.
