The adjusting screw sets the clearance between the brake shoes and the drum. As the linings wear, it helps keep the shoes close enough to the drum for the brakes to apply properly. Signs this part may need replacing include excessive brake pedal travel, a parking brake that needs more lever travel, or an adjuster that is seized, corroded, damaged or missing. Diagnose the cause before you replace parts.
