2015 Palomino Sabre 36QBOK Brakes and Bearing Recommendation

Question

Question:

I asked about brakes and bearings for the above RV and Jameson C was not sure what rating my axles were. I have attached a picture of the label on the one of the axles. Please let me know what brake and bearing components I need to do a complete job. Both axles have electric brakes. Thanks

I looked in several places online and couldn't get a definite axle capacity for your trailer. I'd assume it's a pretty high capacity since it's a tandem axle trailer that weighs 12k and has 3k of capacity.

So most likely you have 8k axles like what the part # 8-285-11 hub fits which has bearing numbers # 25580 and # 02475 with grease seal # RG06-070.

Then for brake assemblies part # AKEBRK-8.

Get me the diameter of your axles though and I'll be able to get you a better recommendation.

Typical Axle Diameters Based on Axle Capacity
- 1,000-lb - 2,000-lb Axles: 1-1/2 inch - 1-3/4 inch diameter
- 3,500-lb Axles: 2-3/8 inch diameter
- 6,000-lb - 7,200-lb Axles: 3 inch diameter
- 8,000-lb Axles: 3-1/2 inch diameter
- 9,000-lb Axles: 4 inch diameter
- 10,000-lb Or more axles: 5 inch diameter

Thanks for the picture! From that I can tell you have a Lippert 7k axle which is a very common axle. For brakes you'd then need the kit part number # AKEBRK-7-SA which comes with left and right assemblies that are self adjusting. For bearings we have the kit part # BK3-200 which includes the bearings 14125A/ 25580 Bearings and seal 10-36 which is what your 7k Lippert axle/hub takes.

Answer 1

For your Lippert 8,000 lb axles we do have a set of self-adjusting brake assemblies that will fit and work well. What you'll want is the part #AKEBRK-8R for the right hand side and the #AKEBRK-8L for the left hand side and you'd be set. Thank…

I did some checking and the hub/drum we offer that will work for you is the part #8-430-5UC3. This uses the same bearings as the 8-415 and will be an exact fit aside from the fact this is a non-ABS setup and the 8-415 came in an ABS setup and non-ABS…

I recommend replacing an entire ladder if it's damaged. You'll want to find a replacement based on the height. Such as the Stromberg Carlson #LA-401 that is 99-1/2 inches tall. They can be cut shorter to customize the length if needed.

Answer 6

Since you have a wheelbase/axle spacing of 38 inches the correct hanger kit for slipper springs would be the part #HAP-105-205-01. And then for a 7k trailer axle the u-bolt kit you'd want would be the part #APUBR-8. I attached the diagram to use…

To determine the size of the brake assemblies you need you have to measure the depth and width of the hub drum on the axle like what you see in the picture I attached. The most common size is 2-1/4 inch wide like the #T4071600-500 that you…
