The pawl mechanism engages to maintain proper brake adjustment as the brake shoes wear. When the pawl wears, the automatic adjuster may fail to keep brakes properly adjusted, causing reduced braking performance or uneven wear. Replacing the pawl kit restores reliable automatic slack adjustment, and this kit fits all Meritor automatic slack adjusters.
