An adjusting unit for an automatic slack adjuster of a vehicle drum brake includes a housing (), a worm shaft () mounted in the housing () so as to be movable between two end positions along an axial travel (A), a control pinion () arranged on the worm shaft, a worm () arranged on the worm shaft, and a freewheel () for power transmission between the control pinion () and the worm () in a first direction of rotation and for slip between the control pinion () and the worm () in an opposite, second direction of rotation. The worm shaft () has a first stop surface () and a second stop surface (), which can each be brought into contact with a corresponding first stop () and second stop () at the end positions of the housing (). An automatic slack adjuster includes such an adjusting unit.
