It is a heavy-duty component that automatically maintains the proper clearance between the brake shoes and the brake drum on air-braked trucks and trailers. By eliminating the need for manual brake adjustments, it ensures consistent, even braking performance across all wheel positions and prevents uneven wear. Drivers and mechanics can easily verify the brake stroke during pre-trip inspections thanks to the built-in Auto-Check™ stroke indicator, which helps ensure compliance with DOT roadside safety checks.
