What does a drum brake adjuster do?

A drum brake adjuster ensures that the brake shoes remain at the correct distance from the brake drum. As the brake shoes wear down over time, the adjuster automatically compensates to maintain optimal braking performance and prevent excessive pedal travel.

Why is it important to replace the drum adjuster?

If the adjuster is worn or seized, it can lead to uneven braking, excessive pedal travel, or even brake drag. Replacing it with a new kit ensures proper adjustment, which helps maintain consistent stopping power and can prevent premature wear on other brake components.

Does this kit include parts for both sides of the rear axle?

No, this kit is sold as an axle kit for one side of the rear drum brakes. You will need to purchase two kits if you intend to replace the adjusters on both the left and right sides of the axle.
