I have 2014 Camplite BHS with Dexter Torque flex axles and the brakes are getting to the point of replacement. I'm looking at Dexter Made In USA 4 pack of complete pre-lubed hubs for $819.98. While TruRyde Imported parts Pro kit with Timken Bearings. Which requires installation of bearings, races, and greasing for $443.99.
Would you do Import or Domestic built brakes?
Thanks in advance. Peter
When I did a similar thing with my dual torque flex axle 16TBS 4 years ago, I went with the Dexter units. They were very easy to install and have been completely trouble and maintenance free since. I assume the Dexter brakes you're looking at are self-adjusting. Every so often etrailer.com runs sales, so check with their site.
Unless you have experience with the tools necessary to install the press-fit races, I suggest not going with a set up requiring that.
And kudos for paying attention to brakes!
Merlin, Thank you for the reply. I have pressed in bearing races in the past and it takes a little time and patience. I do like the Dexter Never adjust brake set up and the Dexter pre-grease drums and hubs would definitely save on overhaul time.
