Key Features & Benefits

This kit basically lets you fine – tune how much your spring brakes apply when you pull the handbrake, or when the system activates automatically. It includes things like adjustment levers, clevises – those are the connecting pins, and sometimes new S – cams. It’s all about getting the right amount of force. Think of it like adjusting the tension on a guitar string; too loose and it doesn’t do anything, too tight and it can cause problems. It allows for precise control over the parking and emergency brake force. This system works directly with your air brake system. So, your air brakes do the main stopping job, but this kit handles the spring brakes that come into play when you park, or if you lose air pressure. These spring brakes are mechanically applied, and this kit lets you control how much they grab. It’s essential for keeping the vehicle safely stationary, even if the air system fails. It’s part of the overall safety network.

Symptoms, Risks & Replacements

It’s important because if this isn’t adjusted right, you could have a few issues. You might not be able to hold the vehicle on a hill, or the brakes could drag, wearing out your brake shoes and wasting fuel. It's also a safety issue – you want to be sure those spring brakes engage fully when you need them. It’s one of those things that, when it’s working properly, you don’t even think about it, but you’ll notice if it isn’t. We carry a good selection of these kits at Fixparts Online, and making sure you have the right one for your truck is crucial. Proper adjustment is a key part of keeping everything safe and reliable.
