Outfit your truck to be Ready for the Road Ahead™ with the ideal amount of tension in the brake linkage, with the Meritor 1.5" Cam / 28-Spline / 5.5" Automatic Slack Adjuster. Due to its tension-based design, this replacement component is able to check the amount of slack between the brake shoe and the brake drum, and automatically adjust the distance as needed to reduce overall wear. Engineered with a compensating mechanism that alters the position of the pushrod as the brakes wear down.
