02 U320 Front bearings and Brakes

Anyone have the numbers for both? I need to look at them and I figured I might as well replace the brakes while I am in their and give the bearings a once over...

Want to make sure I can get the parts fast if needed or I will order before hand..Thanks

David,
The bearings are spindle/hub specific as several changes have been made over time.
The brake pads should be Kit 15625 PM  for the 4M  ADB 1560 unless you are driving in the mountains all the time.

Safe to assume a number is stamped on it and easy to find (Hub)? No mountains but dont want to change pads any sooner than needed so I like to buy the better options if there are any...Thanks ^.^d

David,
Not sure what stub you are talking about.

The 1560 has 2 pad options, the other is S2R701-7173  (the old number is Kit 15623AB)  Unless you are driving from Creed, CO to Lake City over Slumgullion Pass weekly you won't like them as they are hard as hammered torment, as the saying goes. Once you forget to heat them up and almost run over someone you will change both them and your underpants back to what you had before.

Unless  you have 200k or have had a guide/slide pin failure your shoes will be OK. You may need some guide/slide pins though and there number is Kit 15016

If you have new unusual squeak that could be a number of things and a good look over is in order.

At 207,000 miles my brake pads are at 50%.  Only malfunctions would require pad replacement on most of our coaches.

Think pad wear has alot to with the driver and where you drive,love watching the 2 foot drivers accelerate with the brake lights on.

Driver AND maintenance.  Actually, I see many damaged by compromised slide pins so the lazy side does not retract. Lack of use also contributes to this. 

BTW, Ford had the same problem on their F53 chassis.  The same brakes used on their F350 with great success proved problematic on the motorhome chassis, because they SAT.  And the caliper slides failed to "slide".
