Carlson H403 Drum Brake Adjusting Spring Kit

The Carlson H403 drum brake adjusting spring kit is a service part for restoring proper drum brake adjuster function. Brakes work as a system, and worn adjusting springs can affect how the shoes and adjuster mechanism operate on vehicles like the Ford F-100, Jeep Wagoneer, and Dodge Monaco.

  • Drum brake adjusting spring kit for service replacement
  • Supports proper operation of manual drum brake adjuster assemblies
  • Application-specific fitment for select front and rear drum brake systems
  • Direct fit for vehicles with listed drum brake sizes and configurations
  • Carlson H403 part number for catalog and cross-reference use

Detailed Fitment and Use

Use this Carlson H403 kit when servicing drum brake hardware on select 1959-1968 vehicles with manual adjusting brake systems. It fits 1965-1968 Dodge Monaco, front; 1959-1966 Ford F-100, rear with 11" x 1.75" brakes and 4WD; 1959-1966 Ford F-100, front with 11" x 2" drum brakes, 4WD, and 288 model number; and 1965-1966 Jeep Wagoneer, front or rear with manual adjusting brakes and 11" x 2" drum brakes.

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

  • Restores worn or weakened drum brake adjusting spring function
  • Addresses uneven brake shoe adjustment on manual drum systems
  • Helps correct brake hardware issues during drum brake service
  • Supports maintenance on vintage Ford F-100, Jeep Wagoneer, and Dodge Monaco brake assemblies

Installation Notes and Tips

Confirm drum size, axle position, and manual adjuster style before installation. Match the vehicle’s brake configuration to the listed fitment for the Ford F-100, Jeep Wagoneer, or Dodge Monaco, and inspect related brake hardware for wear during service. The Carlson H403 should be installed as part of a complete drum brake inspection.
