Title: Brake Chamber size
Post by: Cary and Don on August 13, 2012, 08:41:19 PM

We were going to change the diaphragms on our front and boogie chambers. 05 Eagle, spring brakes, 5" brake shoes. The chambers are 16s not 24s. Our 4107 has 24s with 5" shoes. Is this usual for Eagles? Anybody have an Eagle with 24s? It seems that if they installed larger shoes that the chambers should have been upgraded also.
