Question

Question:

I was wondering why there is a difference pricing for right and left brake assembly for your 5200lbs axle for my 2017 grand design 30 BH Rv. Right side assembly is about $ 20.00 more than left side?

I know that has to be frustrating but the prices are determined by an algorithm and not set by someone. This causes price discrepancy's in similar products some times. We have the same brakes sold as a set the etrailer Electric Trailer Brake Kit - Self-Adjusting - 12" - Left and Right Hand Assemblies - 5.2K to 7K item # AKEBRK-7-SA. These currently have a comparable price as the separate left side item # AKEBRK-7L-SA and right side item # AKEBRK-7R-SA.
