Brake self adjuster not working.. help!!
« on: July 16, 2010, 08:08:56 PM »
I have had a mechanic try to adjust my parking brake.  The PB seems to be fine, when he took off the wheel and looked at the brake, he tried to adjust the rear brake.  He says the self adjuster doesn't hold and that I need a new one.

If this is correct, I have tried several local stores and no one has them.  Is this a part or something that is sold as part of a kit?  Any help is appreciated!

Hey many thanks, I went to my local AutoZone, and they told me they didn't have anything.  So my next guess it came in some part of a kit.

I really appreciate you looking up a part number!

So i couldnt find any trace of any part number what so ever, not one book, factory motorparts, us autoforce. sorry to leave you hanging like that, but i assumed that someone spent about 3 seconds looking, like always.
