    The strap wench hitting the tire.



    Why only the right rear? If there are 4 brake chambers, every one of them should set, I would think.

    This is absolutely false. It's been mandatory for all new trailers to come equipped with spring brakes for many years, no law state all trailers had to be retrofitted.

    Many only have maxi brakes on one drive axle. Never seen only one side of an axle.
