No announcement yet.
Is it normal for a new 22MLE to only have ONE self-adjusting brake?

I will be glad to do so.

Thanks for the pictures. I see the self adjusting shoe has an extra part on it for the cable to run over. Be interested to see how the adjuster area is also different. I know the wheel on the adjuster is a bit different.Joseph

I did verify without a doubt that one of the four hubs was auto adjusting; the other 3 were manual. (With indisputable photographic evidence.) I sent an email to both GD and Lippert (after a poor experience with the call in line) and Lippert is sending me a conversion kit free of charge.

To Lippert’s credit, they sent me a complete hub; not just a conversion kit. I’ll be installing it within the next couple of weeks so I’ll see if I can figure out which parts you’d need to convert.
