Does anyone know if the adjuster goes on the front side or the rear side of the drum? Mine is on the rear right now, but you can put it on the front and it I think work in reverse.. hhmmm not sure
Automatic brake adjuster 93 FSB
Does anyone have pics of the Automatic brake adjuster on a 93 bronco? Do the go on the rear of the drum? It appears that mine are working in reverse if that's possible? I keep having to adjust the back brakes to snug them up. Everything is new back there.. Drums, shoes, adjusters.. I think I may have put them on the wrong side of the drum... Is that even possible.?. I think when iI'm backing up it is actually loosening the brakes? LOL... sorry for the crazy post, I'm just tring to figure out why the brakes back there keep loosening..Thanks for your help as always.. Kevin

well, it looks like I have it on correctly... Not sure why it keeps coming loose.. After I drive it for awhile I loose some pedal and then have to readjust the back drums.. Any suggestions?
If all springs are on correctly, then swap the adjusters. Move the passenger adjuster to the driver side and vica versa. Those are probably on the wrong side. The threads are different for both sides so they adjust properly.
As our pal Sackman advised; that seems to be a common prob...

I think you're right man... It appears that is is going backwards... I will swap them out because if I turn the adjuster around it won't line up.. All is on correctly so that has to be it.. It's loosening the brakes instead of tightening them.. I give it a go and see what happens.. thanks..If all springs are on correctly, then swap the adjusters.

And report back with your findings :thumbup
There is a right side adjuster and a left side adjuster.
The right side is the drivers side.
The left side is the passanger side.
Pull the short (freewheeling) end off of the adjuster assembly. Look at the very end of the shaft that you pulled it off of. There will either be a "R" or an "L" stamped into it.
