Automatic Adjuster
WARNING: This page does not describe the selected car, but rather 6 other vehicles, including the 1999 Plymouth Breeze, 1999 Dodge Stratus, 1999 Chrysler Cirrus, 1998 Plymouth Breeze, and 1998 Dodge Stratus. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.
Adjuster moves upward when brakes are applied. Cage and spring on adjuster cable absorbs secondary shoe movement, except when shoe wear results in enough movement to cause adjuster to rotate. This feature reduces the possibility of over-adjustment.
