alan0043 Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 Hi Everyone, It is time to start to thing about doing some maintenance to the trailer. I am in the planning stage. I have a 2007 New Horizon trailer with Mor-Ride suspension with disc brakes. The wheel bearings need to be inspected and repacked. The calipers need to be removed before the rotors can be pulled off. But before you pull off the calipers the shocks need to be removed. There is a bolt on the calipers that is hidden my the shocks. If I am going to remove the shocks to get to the bolt on the calipers why not replace the shocks. I believe the shocks are original to the trailer. Where does someone find the part number for the shocks ? Are all shocks that are used on Mor-Ride suspension the same part number. I would like to have the replacement before I start any work. I should thing about replacing the brake pads also. Does anyone know what the part number for the brake pads are ?

Alie&Jim's Carrilite Posted February 17, 2017 Report Share Posted February 17, 2017 MoRyde would be the place to call. It is probably a Monroe shock or at least can be cross-referenced to a Monroe.

gjhunter01 Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Another approach is to remove one shock which would allow you to test it's wear by pumping it up and down. If you determine the shock is worn, then take it to a parts store (NAPA) and let them cross reference the shock to give you options as to which quality/price you want for the replacement shocks.

ms60ocb Posted February 18, 2017 Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 I had to replace one shock and found It is a special Monroe shock for MoRyde. I then found the shock number on the MoRyde website and ordered from MoRyde. I removed the shock easily but had to remove the associated wheel to install the new. But with your work the wheel be off. I think my shock was around $46 . My replacement was due later rock hitting the shook and bending the shock.

alan0043 Posted February 18, 2017 Author Report Share Posted February 18, 2017 Hi Everybody, The following information is what I received from Mor-Ryde. The price for the shocks did not seem bad. But the price for the brake pads was not what I was expecting. There must be some gold in the brake pads for that price. The total cost for brake pads is $800. There is some thing really not right here. Why so much money for brake pads. Any ideas about where to find a better price on the pads. "The parts and prices are listed below.

RBH Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 Our disc brakes are Kodiak installed by Mor-ryde. The pads are available from Kodiak for much less than $200. Maybe yours are different? I have found Mor-ryde to be very honest and easy to work with so maybe they used a different and more expensive brand on yours but $200 for a set of pads seems excessive.

SPII Posted February 27, 2017 Report Share Posted February 27, 2017 I've bought ceramic brake pads at Etrailer.com for less than $40 per axle and I have 8K axles on my camper. Check out this page: http://www.etrailer.com/dept-pg-Accessories_and_Parts-pt-Disc_Brakes-co-8000_lbs.aspx These pads are also available at local auto parts stores. Same as early '90's GM cars. From the Kodiak manual: The Kodiak caliper uses GM replacement friction pads which should be available at your local auto parts store. Specify pad #D-289 organic for Model #225 (same pads used for 1980-1990 Buick Skylark-front) and #MD-215 semi-metallic for Model #250 (same pads used for1983-1995 Buick Century H/D-front). 2013 DRV Mobile Suites 38TKSB3 w/ Hydra Lift motorcycle lift, MorRyde IS suspension, MorRyde hitch pin 2013 Ford F450 w/ Trailer Saver air hitch 2011 BMW R1200RT motorcycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Still open for more ideas, Al You quote the brake pads as $800 for four wheels I assume? A brake pad set is for two wheels since if you replace one side the other side always gets replaced at the same time. In this case I think they are charging you $400 for the pads. Still very expensive but not as much as you wrote. 2013 DRV Mobile Suites 38TKSB3 w/ Hydra Lift motorcycle lift, MorRyde IS suspension, MorRyde hitch pin 2013 Ford F450 w/ Trailer Saver air hitch 2011 BMW R1200RT motorcycle Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ronbo Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Which brakes do you have. I have Kodiak and purchased ceramic pads at oreilly auto parts. Lifetime warranty. If you have dexter they are expensive and not widely available. That is why I went with Kodachrome calipers.

I hope there is a name on the calipers. SPII, Thank you for looking up info in the Kodiak manual. I hope that I have Kodiak calipers from what I have read.

billr Posted February 28, 2017 Report Share Posted February 28, 2017 Dexter brakes are double sided pistons. You can look under to see that. Kodiak are one sided like std automotive. Dexter are a lot more $. But can last longer. The cost of Kodiak might offset the longevity. I used an online store to buy pad sets and calipers and new hoses. Good idea to replace hoses. Not too much $. http://www.dexterpartsonline.com/page/398413422 Was free shipping too.

Ronbo Posted March 1, 2017 Report Share Posted March 1, 2017 Look at the caliper if there is a 250 on it it is kodiak. Take a pic and post it we will tell you. Ron C. 2013 Dynamax Trilogy 3850 D3 2000 Kenworth T2000 Optimus Prime Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
