Automatic Adjuster

WARNING: This page is about a different car, the 1994 Plymouth Sundance, 1994 Plymouth Acclaim, 1994 Dodge Spirit, 1994 Dodge Shadow, and 1994 Chrysler LeBaron. However, it is still accessible from the selected car via links, so may be relevant.

Adjuster moves upward when brakes are applied. Adjuster screw threads on LeBaron are opposite of other models. 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 possibility of over-adjustment.
