Bearing, Race and Seal Information
Note: Disc brakes require a higher line pressure (1,500 psi) than standard drum brakes (1,000 psi). To achieve this pressure, a brake actuator with a 1,500-psi rating is required.
An increasing number of trailer owners are switching over to disc brakes, and with good reason. Disc brake calipers have only one moving part, as opposed to the many moving parts you find with drum brakes. This means that with disc brakes there are fewer parts to maintain, fewer parts to get damaged and fewer parts to repair or replace, thus reducing the cost of maintenance.
Performance increases as well. Disc brakes deliver consistent braking even at highway speeds, unlike drum brakes, which often show a substantial drop in braking torque at higher speeds. In addition, disc brakes offer a much shorter stopping distance than drum brakes.

After adjusting my drum brakes i would have to use the highest setting on my trailer brake controller. Now with the disc brakes i am only on 5 out of 10 and i get excellent braking performance. The braking is smooth and consistent on each of the 4 trailer wheels unlike drum brakes. It is incredible that they don’t make this a standard for trailer brakes. It has made pulling a 10,000 lb skid steer much safer for me and my business. I would love to say that everything is perfect but it does have some flaws. First i had a clearance issue on my trailer when installing. The bottom bolt for the caliper was too long to get started , so i had to shave off about 3 threads with a grinder to get it in between the frame of my trailer and the caliper. Also the top bolt on each caliper was damaged after some use because it was contacting the I beam of the trailer ( im pretty sure this is unique to my trailer. Trailer World 25’ 14k gooseneck). Etrailer sells the replacement bolts for the Kodiak calipers which also work for the Titan. After the clearance issue the only other problem i had was the threaded bearing buddy dust cap. Loosening and falling off on the road. This exposes your bearings to dirt and dust and also slings grease all over your trailer, tires,and rims. A smarter design would be to have a flat surface on the bearing buddy so you can tighten it better or a set screw in the hub to hold it from coming off. I have just ordered 2 new bearing buddys from etrailer. Hopefully they will fit. Make sure you use some kind of thread locker or other adhesive to keep them from backing out
If it wasnt for this i would give 5 starts
