The star wheel adjusters are the same. I am not really sure what the problem is, but there is something wrong and you will probably need to remove the drums to see what it is...Mark

 

If the adjuster is on the wrong side, it will back off the adjustment every time the brakes are applied, not over tighten it.

I can think of two things that can cause an auto adjuster to over tighten.
1. Brake drum out of round. The shoe and adjuster can make a click as it follows the "square" drum.
2. Possibly an oversized drum and shoes that don't match the radius. The shoe would have to flex for it to move the adjuster.
Either way, it's time for a new drum.

 

Dang this is a brand new drum from Napa. Is it possible that they will wear in over time? I may just disconnect the auto adjustment cable and manually adjust them.

 

Take them to a good brake or machine shop and have them turned to a true round condition. Certainly even the cheap Chinese drums have enough meat to true them up...Mark

 

Do the shoes lay true in the drum? Yer looking for radius error in the shoe.
