I have a 96 Ford Contour with rear drum brakes. I've replaced the shoes, but the
spring on the self-adjuster unit has rusted away. I've been unable to locate
either the spring or the full self-adjuster unit.
I'm able find the
adjusting spring set all over the place, but those kits do not include a
replacement spring for the self adjuster.
I've tried the typical parts
stores, including the Ford dealer who says the part is discontinued.
Does anyone have suggestions on where to look?
When all else fails, check out a junk yard
ReplyDeleteI found them with the 1st place that I looked for $13.81, here you go. http://www.theautopartsshop.com/auto+car-usa+parts/ford+contour+drum-brake-self-adjuster-repair-kit.html
ReplyDeleteI think he said those kits doesn't have the spring he needs.

Click the link and discover that they are included from this manufacture. AC Delco, it figures that GM makes them as these are Bendix Braking Systems.
ReplyDeleteThanks, but they are "Not in stock" there. I was excited when I found that link previously as well.
ReplyDeleteMy first move would be to find a junkyard as well. Good luck.
