Eccentric brake shoe adjusting bolts

For 9" drum brakes

Eccentric adjusting bolts for setting the upper section of the brake shoes on 9" drum brakes. These bolts enable precise adjustment of the brake shoes for optimal braking performance. Their eccentric design allows the brake shoes to be positioned accurately in relation to the drum.

Material

Steel

Application

9" drum brakes

Quantity required

2 per wheel (8 per vehicle)

Fitting

Brake backing plate upper section

Features

  • Eccentric design for precise adjustment
  • For the upper section of the brake shoes
  • 2 pieces per wheel required
  • Replacement for corroded original bolts
  • Suitable for 9" drum brakes

★ Replace worn or seized adjusting bolts in good time — correct brake adjustment is essential for safe braking performance.

Application

Suitable for vehicles with 9" drum brakes as listed in the product category: CJ-2A (1945-1949), CJ-3A (1948-1953), CJ-3B (1953-1964) and M38 (1950-1952).

Installation notes

The eccentric bolts are located on the upper section of the brake backing plate. Turning the bolt pushes the brake shoe inwards or outwards. After adjustment, secure with the corresponding nut and lock washer. Regular readjustment is necessary as the brake shoes wear.

Compatibility

Please note: these bolts are specific to 9" brakes. Not suitable for later 10" or 11" brake systems which use a different adjustment method (star wheel adjuster).

Historical context

Eccentric adjusting bolts were the standard adjustment system on early Willys and Jeep drum brakes. This system was replaced in later years by the star wheel adjuster type with a rubber plug.
