SRT-4 L4-2.4L Turbo VIN S (2004)
INSPECTION
Rear brake shoe lining should show contact across the entire width of the lining and also from the heel to the toe of the lining. Replace the shoes if
noted otherwise.
Brake shoes with lack of contact at the toe or heel of the brake shoe lining may be improperly ground.
Clean and inspect the brake support plate and shoe adjuster screw. Apply a thin coat of Mopar Multi-Purpose Lubricant or equivalent to the threads of
the self-adjuster (Fig. 40). Replace the adjuster screw if it is corroded.
NOTE: Adjuster screws are different side-to-side. Left side adjuster screws have left-hand threads and right side adjuster screws have right-handed
threads.
If the old brake shoe return or hold down springs have overheated or are damaged, replace them. Overheating indications are paint discoloration or
distorted end coils.
