Centric Brake Shoe Adjuster Kit

The Centric Brake Shoe Adjuster Kit (also called a drum brake self-adjuster kit or brake shoe self-adjusting repair kit) restores the automatic adjustment function in drum brakes. The self-adjusting mechanism keeps the clearance between the brake shoes and the drum within specification. That clearance helps the brakes respond promptly and keeps pedal travel consistent.

Key Features:

• Application-specific kit designed to match original equipment parts in quality, configuration and function
• Maintains the specified running clearance between shoes and drum, so periodic manual brake adjustment is not needed
• Helps prevent excessive pedal travel and premature wear of the front brake friction material
• Helps reduce noise, heat and corrosion deterioration, and drag
• Replaces worn adjuster hardware to bring brake operation back to like-new performance

Adjuster components wear from use and heat. When they fail, the shoes sit too far from the drum, which causes excessive pedal travel. The front brakes then have to do more of the work. Replace the self-adjuster hardware whenever you replace the brake shoes to complete the repair. Centric Parts is a brake manufacturer that serves traditional automotive, high-performance and light- to heavy-duty applications.
