How do I determine the brake assy for my 4Star trailer? Does the VIN # have anything to do with it? I was just quoted a price locally from a tire place that I felt was a bit over the top! Thought I would check out the Internet prices.

What make and size axles do you have? Dexter, Alko, 6000#, 7000#, 8000#? Remember, when ordering backing plate assemblies, there is a "right" side and a "left" side.... Here are some prices for parts for comparison....

OK so a friend's husband said to look on the axle which should have a metal plate with size and manufacturer...didn't see it. Perhaps behind the hub?
Model Number, Part Number and Serial Number Model, part and serial numbers are located on a plate in the middle area of the axle.
* Axles built before 4/1/93 have the serial number stamped into the beam near the I.D. plate.

Do you have a BP or gooseneck, and how many horses? With 15" tires I would think you would use the 10" brakes. That is what I use on my trailer with two 3500lb axles.
