Rear Drum Brake Adjusting Screw Assembly; Passenger Side (71-89 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 & Wrangler YJ)Find parts that fit my vehicle

Consistent Drum Braking. The Rear Drum Brake Adjusting Screw Assembly restores reliable, even shoe-to-drum contact for 1971–1989 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 and Wrangler YJ models, helping maintain a firm, predictable pedal on the street and the trail. By renewing the adjuster mechanism on the passenger side, this direct replacement component preserves correct clearance as linings wear, which is essential for steady stopping performance and balanced rear brake operation.

Construction and Appearance. Built to OE compatible and comparable specifications, the assembly features a raw metal finish and precise threads that resist galling for smooth, repeatable adjustments. Tight tolerances across the screw, star wheel, and mating hardware promote stable index movement, while the form factor mirrors the original layout to ensure proper shoe spread and return-spring geometry. The robust materials are selected to handle heat cycles, dust, and moisture common to drum systems, helping the adjuster remain free-moving and consistent over time.

Installation. Designed for a straightforward process with common hand tools, this passenger-side adjuster drops into the factory location as a direct replacement. After removing the drum and shoes, clean contact areas, transfer springs and levers as appropriate, and install the new screw assembly with a light film of high-temperature brake lubricant on the threads. Reassemble the drum hardware, set an initial shoe clearance, and complete a proper burnish procedure to stabilize friction characteristics. A versatile installation approach keeps service time reasonable and supports future adjustments without complications.

Application. This Rear Drum Brake Adjusting Screw Assembly fits 1971-1989 Jeep CJ5, CJ7 and Wrangler YJ models. By restoring smooth, incremental adjustment inside the drum, it helps maintain even wear, preserves pedal feel, and supports confident, consistent stopping performance across daily driving and off-pavement excursions.
