Detailed Description

This Carlson brake service kit addresses the self-adjuster portion of a drum brake system, helping restore the adjustment mechanism that keeps brake shoes positioned correctly as they wear. Part number 12509 is specified for rear right use on select Nissan Pulsar NX and Nissan Sentra vehicles with 203 x 35mm drum brakes and 533 fitment. Because braking systems work as a matched set, replacing worn adjuster components can help maintain consistent pedal feel and brake response.

This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.

What It Is Used For

  • Restoring a worn or sticking drum brake adjuster mechanism.
  • Addressing uneven rear brake adjustment.
  • Correcting brake shoe clearance issues in drum brake service.
  • Replacing damaged adjuster components during brake maintenance.

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify drum size, fitment code, and rear right application before installation. Confirm the vehicle matches the listed Nissan Pulsar NX or Nissan Sentra fitment and inspect related drum brake components for wear before reassembly. Part number 12509 should be matched to the exact brake configuration shown in the fitment data.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake service parts are built for application-specific repair work in braking systems. Part number 12509 is intended for the exact listed fitments and brake configuration.
