Trailer brake parts
« on: September 20, 2022, 06:29:23 AM »
Where do you guys get your trailer brake parts. I need new drums and brakes for our scout trailer. The drums have some pretty good grooves worn in them and the brakes are covered in grease where the seals failed. The local trailer place wants twice the price of what I can find online. $230 per drum and over $100 per brake kit. They are 8 lug 12 inch hubs for a 12,000 lb trailer.

Went to a different dealer and got everything for near half the price of the first one. I don't know why 2 trailer places would be so far apart on price.

E-Trailer is a good place for parts. They also keep track of what you buy, which makes it nice when you need information or more parts. If you are replacing the drums, look at replacing the magnets too

This trailer hasn't been serviced in probably 15 years. It's pretty ugly. I'm replacing everything. Brakes, magnets, drums, bearings and tires. The date code on the tires was 2002.

E trailer or Amazon. Both have been good. In a pinch, tractor supply.

Kids today don't know how easy they have it. When I was young, I had to walk 9 feet through shag carpet to change the TV channel.

I didn't even think about tractor supply. They have all kinds of trailer stuff.
