Does any one know why the cables for the self adjustment mechanism fail on so many different forklifts that have drum brakes? I even see Hysters with rod operated adjusters have alot of failures. I think that most of the drum brake problems that I've seen through out the years that I've been in this buisness were caused by adjuster cables broken or stretched. I've spent plenty of time working on cars AG equipment and mudium duty trucks and only ever seen one broken cable in those vehicles (and that was a 1970 ford falcon, so it was old enough to have a good excuse to break)
