Well, frankly, the auto adjust star mechanism is readily available from all sorts of places -- LMC has them, as well as your local autozone or advance auto. They will have to order them of course. 65-72 is the same.

here is the link:

If that link doesn't work , just as for Raybestos H2540 for the left and H2541 for the right.

Its called "brake Self adjuster Kit" at least by partsamerica.com

Hope that helps.

Doc

They have three lane roads in Tuscon? Dang......

Close adjustment will get you close on the pull to center. I have the same issues on 17 during the daily commute from north Phx to the shop with Christine.

Disc brake upgrade will help too. I am still running drum drum with a power booster. Too cheap to buy an upgrade that later just may be removed and new fornt suspension put in.

That was the main reason for my disk upgrade. More for directional control and having the safety of a dual system (I lost the brakes on a single system years ago and I found it was NOT fun). I used the ECI kit with Ford disks, Chebby calipers,a proportioning valve from a 78 F150, and a dual MC from I think a 79 or so F150. I did not install a booster, but it seems to work very well the way it is.

Doc, you might want to make sure you don't have a leaking wheel cylinder on that wheel. That makes the brakes grabby, too. :)
