Front Brakes

Jerry Emert:
New at this!  Trying to find part numbers for front brakes on my 03PT.  I've looked through the old posts and didn't find anything specific.  I called Meritor and they need the actual part number from the brake shoes to get them.  I know the front axle is a Dana E1200W according to the Data Card in the bathroom cabinet.
Thanks

It's difficult to get an accurate part list together without pulling it apart - unless you have previously collected all the manufacture's model information.

Generally speaking;
The "Axle" make/model - gets you the axle to spindle parts (king pins, spindles, etc.)
The "Wheel End (Hub)" make/model - gets you the bearings and seals part numbers and adjustment procedures.
The "Brake Assembly" make/model - gets you the parts listing for the shoes/pads, calipers/rotors/drums, misc brake parts.

All three can be manufactured by different companies then fitted by the coach builder or chassis builder.
I checked the "Monaco Parts List" put out by the Monacoer's group, but they have no parts listing either.

Gerald Farris:
Jerry,
Your 03 Thunder does not have the problematic Meritor ADB brakes. It uses the much longer lasting, but a little more expensive to repair, Bendix disc brakes. The average life expectancy for Meritor ADB brakes on the rear of a Marquis is about 40,000 miles and 80,000 on the front, but it is not uncommon to see the Bendix disc brakes run well over 150,000 miles.

Jerry, I would recommend getting the caliper casting p/n.  Take that to NAPA or other heavy duty parts house. They can provide replacemen brake pads. Good luck

Mike Shumack:
Jerry said previously that he has drum brakes in the front.
