<p>[QUOTE=&quot;Rideandrepair, post: 12310666, member: 168603&quot;]Maybe you can save a few bucks bringing your own parts. Especially if you need drums. I bought a drum there once. It was almost&nbsp; double the price than Freightliner.&nbsp; There’s different drums too. Brand names, Chinese cheapies, and lightweight. The cheapies seem just as good. Sometimes they’re on sale at Freightliner, probably $125-$150 each nowadays. T/ A will charge at least $75 more for the same drum. A few years back, my Trailer shop that has excellent part prices charged me $2100 for a brake job&nbsp; on my Trailer. 4 sets of shoes, 4 drums, 1 wheel seal. $900 worth of parts at the time. It can get expensive real quick. Add S cam bushings as mentioned. They should be able to tell you if Scam bushings and drums are needed beforehand, not after it’s apart. Beware. $156 per axle. Another $300 for shoes. Total $624. That’s a fair price. Add Shop and environmental management fees, taxes, It’ll probably be $700. Add another $800 for 4 of their drums. It pays to make a few phone calls first. Might save a few hundred on parts. depending on what’s needed. Maybe T/A has the best prices on shoes. Just never know, have to take a few minutes and call around. Start with Freightliner and get the shoe part #. Be sure to get good brand name shoes. Merritor re lined are a good value. They’ll have a core charge, and you’ll need to take the old ones back for a refund. Some shoes are available brand new, for a bit more, no core charge. The convenience might be worth it.[/QUOTE]</p><p><br /></p>
