Bendix 278289 is a slack adjuster for air drum brakes. Its job is to make up for lining and drum wear, so the clearance between the shoes and the drum stays consistent as the brake ages. When it is not doing that job you tend to see uneven braking or extra pushrod travel at the chamber, and an adjuster you have doubts about should be checked and replaced rather than left in service. Slack adjusters are worth inspecting regularly for a tight fit, correct function and wear. This is a genuine Bendix part from Pro Gear and Transmission. Call us to confirm proper fit for your application.
A factory handling fee of $20.00 per unit is added at checkout.
