Brake Shoe Adjuster

The brake shoe adjuster is a part of drum brakes that pushes the brake shoe out as the brake lining wears. It contains a threaded bolt that resets the starting position with an adjuster lever. As the lining wears, the brake shoes are pushed to remain close enough to the drum to function properly.
