Keep your drum brakes taking up their own slack with the Dorman - First Stop Drum Brake Self-Adjuster Cable HW2101, engineered to drop in like the original cable on the listed applications — including the 1965-1972 American Motors Ambassador, 1966-1968 Dodge Charger, 1965-1973 Ford Mustang, 1984-2001 Jeep Cherokee and many more (see the Buyer's Guide tab for the full list; all engines, quantity 1 per application).
Inside a drum brake, this steel cable links the adjuster lever to the shoe and anchor so that each brake application pulls the automatic adjuster mechanism and takes up clearance between the shoes and drum as the linings wear. It's cataloged for front or rear drum brakes depending on the application. If a snapped or corroded self-adjuster cable is the reason your drum brakes have stopped adjusting, this part replaces it.
Country of origin: China.
