Detailed Description

Carlson H2100-2 is a drum brake self-adjuster cable used in drum brake hardware assemblies where the adjuster mechanism must function correctly for consistent brake shoe adjustment. It is listed for 1964-1973 Ford Mustang rear applications with 9" x 1.5" brakes, 1964-1970 Ford Mustang front applications with 9" x 2.25" drums, and 1963-1968 Dodge Dart rear and front applications with 9" brakes. If you are servicing a Ford Mustang or Dodge Dart drum brake setup, this part number H2100-2 provides a fitment-specific replacement option.

What It Helps Address

  • Brake shoes that do not maintain proper adjustment
  • Uneven drum brake pedal feel caused by worn hardware
  • Reduced braking consistency from a damaged adjuster cable
  • Noise or drag related to worn drum brake components
  • Service needs during drum brake hardware restoration on Mustang and Dart models

Installation Notes and Tips

Verify drum size, brake position, and model year before ordering. This Carlson H2100-2 listing covers rear and front drum brake applications, so match the vehicle’s brake configuration to the fitment notes: 1964-1973 Ford Mustang rear with 9" x 1.5" brakes, 1964-1970 Ford Mustang front with 9" x 2.25" drums, and 1963-1968 Dodge Dart front or rear with 9" brakes. Inspect the full drum brake hardware set during service and replace worn components as needed to restore proper adjuster operation.

Quality Assurance

Brakes work as a system, and Carlson positions this part as a replacement for maintaining that system’s function in drum brake service. This part cross-references Monroe Shocks & Struts (e.g., 172286, 182286) for the same application.
