Eby Stock Trailer Brake Failure

[johnmetzger]

Just had my third wheel brake failure on my 2005 24x7.5 stock trailer that I purchased new. Whats happening is the brake liner is falling off the shoes and wedging inside of the drum causing the wheel to lock up.  These are Dexter axles with brake shoes manufactured in China. Liners are glued on instead of riveted. Very upsetting as I might put 500 to 600 miles on this trailer per year. Any ideas ? Eby not offering any help.

Call another trailer company and ask them. There is a bunch of manufacturers that use Dexter axles.

Its getting so thats its hard to know what quality is anymore as it is getting priced out the market.

Prices hold steady but quality goes down, keeping profit margins steady.
