Brake adjuster loosening while driving?
Hello,
I've had brake issues with my 2008 Yaris sedan for a few years now. Last two times I've taken it in to a shop. Problem is with the adjuster on the right side drum. Rather than self-adjusting it is self-loosening. I've had the adjuster replaced 3 times with new aftermarket parts. Problem persists. Not sure what else to try. Any suggestions? I do not want to keep trowing money at this problem. This is the vehicle my wife uses to get to work and take our daughter to kindergarden. I need a permanent fix. Do not want to risk our family's life. Thanks, Martin Last edited by mnieves79; 04-11-2015 at 09:33 AM. |

maybe you're putting the adjuster in the wrong way. one way will self tighten the other will loosen....if it can be backwards.

You likely have a problem with the adjuster arm incorrectly installed or adjuster incorrectly installed. do a search to get an image of the rear-brake assembly to verify it yourself.
