Self Adjusting Utility Trailer Brake Question

C. Amick · Mar 11, 2017

Are the "self adjusting" electric utility trailer brakes worth the extra price? I can see them working pretty well when new, but the adjusting screw can stick on them as well.

I can't answer your question but I just put a new set of brakes on my fifth wheel with self adjusters so I hope they will continue to work. Haven't put it on the road yet since the replacement.
Purchased through 'e trailer' on line.

They don't really work unless you make sure they stay lubed up. If you do that you can just adjust them at the same time. They don't add much cost tho and they do help at least til rust sets in.

If you use it all the time they are worth their weight in gold. If it gets less than 50k miles a year don't waste your time.
