Dummie’s guide to carrier steering and brake adjustment please

[Jordan Baker]

IM not sure how different the steering setup is in Aussie Carriers vs Cnd ones. On mine I had brake problems and it was due to worn out brake pads. The pads were about 1/8" thick. When I took the drums off I found that someone had brazzed on about 3/8" onto the brake pistons/actuators to give the pads more life.

I ended up installing NOS pads with all the parts set backout to the maximum as this just allowed me to get the drums on. This made a huge difference. After I did that I figured I should rebuild the linkages so I pulled out each component and rebuilt them one at a time. Now my Carrier turns as its supposed to.

I would recommend you check your pads and rebuilt them and then redo all the linkages and set them back to the specs in the manual. Those steps you listed were done for a reason.
