The mounting bracket for the slack adjuster is engineered to maintain precise alignment and robust support within drum brake systems used on heavy trucks. Key dimensional data includes a Slack Adjuster Length range of 5.50 to 6.00 inches, which informs compatibility with a variety of actuator housings and backing plates. Bronze bushings provide improved wear resistance and reduced friction, contributing to smoother operation and longer life in high-vibration environments. The scalloped arm design enhances strength while reducing mass, aiding in responsive adjustment and reduced noise during braking cycles. Properly tensioned and aligned brackets help preserve drum brake geometry, minimize drag, and ensure the adjuster mechanism reliably maintains correct clearance as pads or linings wear. The VMRS code 013-010-272 places this component within the group responsible for slack adjuster mounting and linkage, reinforcing its role in reliable brake performance. Category context 41390 reflects its function as a critical support element in the actuation pathway, supporting ease of service, consistent wear patterns, and predictable pedal feel across varied road conditions and payloads.
