3. Worn Components Over time, the mechanical parts of the self-adjuster, including the ratchet and pawl mechanisms, can wear out. When these components become too worn, they may not engage correctly, resulting in a lack of adjustment. Replacing worn parts is crucial for restoring the self-adjuster's functionality.
Another important feature of drum brakes is the wheel cylinder, which is located at the top of the brake assembly. The wheel cylinder contains two pistons that move outwards when hydraulic fluid is pressed into the cylinder. This movement causes the brake shoes to expand and press against the drum. The design of the wheel cylinder is crucial, as it ensures even distribution of pressure on both brake shoes, promoting uniform wear and effective braking.

Außerdem sollten Sie die Bremskraftverteilung Ihres Fahrzeugs in Betracht ziehen. Bei einer Umrüstung von Trommel- auf Scheibenbremsen kann es notwendig sein, das Verhältnis zwischen Vorder- und Hinterachse anzupassen, um ein ausgeglichenes Bremsverhalten zu gewährleisten. Dies kann durch die Installation eines proportionierenden Bremsventils erreicht werden.
