sorry for my ignorance, once again. I was wondering if the brake pods on the drive axle of my MC9 are a standard brake pod, one that would fit a highway truck. I have a leaky one that need replacing. Thanks | ||

No. Your bus has DD3 brake cans made by Bendix. Trucks use Spring Brakes. Unfortuanately the spring braqkes will not fit on your MC-9 (spring brakes are much cheaper). Jack | ||

Luke carries them. Last I checked, they were $450 each rebuilt. I bought the rebuilding parts from Mohawk for both mine for about $225 last year. You would need to dismantle yours and clean/ inspect to determine which items need replaced. They don't sell a complete rebuild kit. I never asked if they had rebuilt chambers. They're not bad to rebuild if you have experience working on your coach mechanicals. You will need a repair manual though. | ||

Grant, Check the clamp to make sure you can't stop the leak. |
