    Dana 70 brake question

     



    not quite a hot rod-
    I'm helping a pal with his brakes on his 1991 Dodge W350 4x4 firewood dump truck
    The self adjusting arm turns the brake adjuster when you back up and slam on the brakes
    my question
    on that spring loaded arm there is a bent part that contacts the adjuster wheel

    working on the Left side
    New bag of parts marked L but the indent part seems to be on the wrong side to make the adjuster work
    and the one marked R seems to be correct
    any idea
    thanks
    Hank

    Can you "modify" the part you have? Maybe a little twist... or check with Napa or the like, you use to find those parts piece at a time, so you could possibly pick out the right ( correct) piece.
