It automatically maintains the correct distance between the brake shoes and drum as the linings wear, so you don't have to manually adjust the brakes. The built-in Auto-Check indicator gives a quick visual reference of brake stroke, helping you catch problems during a pre-trip inspection. Replacing a worn or seized slack adjuster with this unit helps restore even braking and keeps your rig in compliance with DOT roadside inspection standards.
