At least one aperture is formed through this parallely extending portion of the end cap. A means is provided which is engageable within this at least one aperture and with the second portion of the elongated rod member or the jaw member for preventing longitudinal movement of the elongated rod member with respect to the elongated hollow housing member and consequently for preventing the accidental let out of the slack adjuster.
