It automatically maintains proper clearance between the brake shoes and drum as the linings wear, ensuring consistent braking performance and compliance with safety regulations. It replaces worn or failed manual or automatic slack adjusters on axles with 1-1/2 inch, 28-spline S-cam shafts and 5/8-inch clevis connections. The 5.5-inch arm length is commonly used with Type 30/30 spring brake chambers. This aftermarket part is a Meritor-type design, suitable for a broad range of vehicles.
