Perhaps y'all can help me out a bit. On a 85 Ford Tempo, I am adjusting the rear brakes manually every 6 or
When I remove the drum, nothing looks missing or out of place .. ?
Thanks much
Get a complete hardware kit & replace. The adjusters are worn out.

The "replace the adjusters" is good advice, but is there any chance that the right and the left adjusters have been swapped with each other? If that would happen, when the adjuster tries to tighten each time, it simply loosens each time. I've seen it happen.

bingo. that is my bet what happened. KB
Thanks for the advise. Is there a way to observe adjuster movement with the wheel removed so I can narrow down the defective parts?
Springs vs screw, etc?
(I usually go to the self serve junkyard for parts.. this was a $10 car)
