Detailed Description

Brake hardware works as a system, and the adjusting lever is one of the components that helps the rear drum brake adjuster function correctly. The Carlson H2033 is built for rear drum brake service on 1975-1994 Dodge and Plymouth trucks and vans listed in the fitment data, including Dodge B300, D200, D300, W200, W300, B350, D250, D350, W250, W350, and Plymouth PB350 models. If you are servicing rear drum brakes on a Dodge D200 or Plymouth PB350, this part number H2033 provides the application-specific hardware reference needed for the repair.

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

What It Helps Address

• Uneven rear drum brake adjustment
• Brake shoe clearance that is out of specification
• Reduced adjuster function in worn drum brake hardware
• Brake service needs on rear drum brake assemblies
• Replacement of a damaged or corroded adjusting lever

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify the rear brake size and wheel cylinder bore details shown in the fitment notes before ordering. Match the vehicle year, make, model, and drum brake configuration exactly, especially on Dodge D250, D350, W250, and W350 applications where multiple rear drum brake setups are listed. Inspect the full brake hardware set, shoes, and adjuster components during service so the new lever works with the rest of the assembly.

Quality Assurance

Carlson brake hardware is cataloged for specific brake applications, and the H2033 is listed with detailed fitment coverage for 1975-1994 Dodge and Plymouth rear drum brake systems.
