The Dexter Axle 046-018-00 Adjuster Screw Spring is a critical tension component designed for the precision maintenance of trailer drum brake systems. This spring is engineered to provide constant tension on the brake adjusting screw assembly, ensuring that your trailer brakes maintain proper shoe-to-drum clearance and consistent stopping power during every haul.
Manufactured from high-quality spring steel, this heavy-duty component is built to withstand the intense vibrations and high-heat environments common in heavy-duty towing applications. By keeping the star wheel adjuster securely in place, it prevents the brakes from "backing off" or losing their adjustment, which is essential for safe operation and balanced braking performance across all trailer wheels.
