Using different size slack adjusters on the same axle is not recommended. Consistent slack adjuster sizes ensure uniform braking performance and maintain balance across the axle. Variations in size can lead to uneven brake wear, compromised safety, and potential failure in braking systems. For optimal performance and safety, it's best to use the same size adjusters on each axle.

How do you replace slack adjusters?

They are the adjusters on the rear drum brakes. There is usually a oval shaped hole on the rear of the backing plate where you can use a special adjuster screw or a large screwdriver to turn the adjustment star. You want to adjust them for a fair amount of drag without the wheel and tire mounted on it. 'After adjusting that way and after you remount the tires, , back the car up , in a straight line a few times to set them automatically and to the correct tension.

What is the rear axle ratio of a 1990 Chevy Suburban?

To check the rear axle ratio on your Suburban, you need to safely jack up the vehicle to get access to the the rear axle. Then there should be a metal tag on one of the bolts on the rear axle cover indicating the axle ratio. The ratio varies with different options and load capacities, so it's not the same for all Suburban's.
