I have a Eagle 10S that has had a lot of questionable mechanic work, but that's another story. The brake cans on my rear axle do not match. The passenger side has a model 3030 can while the driver side has a model 3636 can. The Eagle parts book lists the 3636 as the correct part for the 10S(single rear axle). What problems do mismatched cans cause and what is the advantage of the bigger cans?? I am going to replace both cans just to be safe.
As always thanks for all the great information on this and all the boards.

all the spring brakes work the same although it looks kind of funky you will in all licklyhood not have a problem the bigger the can the bigger the sping so more spring pressure id match them up if it were me fast fred would tell you to go by da book and i would agree with him put a pair of 3636 and you will not have a problem i dont know how savy you are with air brake systems but you need to keep the brakes adjusted correctly for the spring brakes to work properly
