Adjuster, Handbrake

If the hand brake pulls poorly or the lever travels nearly to the bottom, a worn or rusty adjusting mechanism may be the cause. This category gathers adjusting nuts for the hand brake on Volvo 940/960 – the part that takes up the play between the hand brake shoes in the hub of the rear brake disc. The threads tend to seize after years of moisture, so check that the screw runs freely when replacing it.
