| Post subject: | Front Drums not self-adjusting equally........ |
I'm getting a pull to the left (that gets worse as the drums warm up) from the left front drum adjusting to tight (slight rub). The right front has no rub. Is there a way to tweak the adjusters so that they self-adjust the same? Or should I back off the left side and hope it only got too tight from new shoes not matching the curvation of the drum and now that the shoes is worn all over it won't do it again????? |

You still running the '64-'68 original-type adjustors (with the adjust levers that rest above the starwheels), or have you gone to the '69-up style (adjust levers rest below the starwheels)? The early type is known for this kind of shenanigans. |

Whatever style this is (also happens to be left front):

Ok, why exactly does the newer style work better? The old style looks look the style in fords...... Looking at my shoes, will it fit correctly (found a few assembled pictures of new style) Think I would also need some different springs. And does someone have an exploded view so I can figure out how to assemble them. Thanks |

Well now, there, y'see? You just answered your own question!  Seriously, the new type works better because the adjustment is achieved by the direct action of the cable pulling the lever, rather than having the cable pull the lever away from the adjustor starwheel and then having a return spring snap the lever down to achieve the adjustment. It's a less problem-prone, more consistent and reliable design. Quote: Looking at my shoes, will it fit correctly (found a few assembled pictures of new style)
Yes. See Here.

Ok found the following at rock auto (just listing one side for some brevity) Adjuster Kits: Raybestos H2526 $9.93 H25262 $10.12 Wagner F98357S $9.06 (HD w/front drum) F98356S $7.87 (std) I assume that the HD is the 10" brakes so it would be the F98357S Pictures of the Raybestos kits show the same thing, so anyone know the why the $0.19 difference, and the Wagner doesn't have a picture, so does it have all the same parts? And any preference between Wagner and Raybestos. And finally, spring kit for an axle (both wheels and return springs, holddown springs, and pins) Raybestos H7130 $5.81 |

Being the frugal person I am, I backed off the adjustment on the left front wheel. Currently there isn't a brake pull problem anymore, but if it comes back I'll then purchase the hardware..... |
