Drum Brake Self Adjuster Repair Kit

Is Your Drum Brake Self Adjuster Not Working?

A brake self adjuster repair kit is a set of components that allows for the repair or replacement of the self-adjusting mechanism in a drum brake system. The brake adjuster is designed to automatically adjust the position of the brake shoes as they wear down, keeping them at a consistent distance from the brake drum and ensuring consistent braking performance. Over time, the self-adjusting mechanism can become worn or damaged, leading to uneven braking performance, reduced stopping power, and other issues. Corrosion can also cause the threads to rust around the star wheel, making it difficult for the brake adjuster to reposition the brake shoes. This can lead to the brake pedal having to be pressed down farther before the shoes contact the brake drums, and may also make pulling the shoes in to remove the brake drum during service more difficult. A brake self adjuster repair kit allows for the replacement of the worn or damaged components of the adjuster, helping you keep the drum brake system working properly and safely. These kits typically include a set of springs, levers, and the adjuster itself that are needed to restore the self-adjusting mechanism to its original functionality.
