Question:

Question. The new tràiler brake backing plates are marked right and left. Is that looking at the trailer from front or rear. Also does it make a difference if the tag on the new axels face to the front or the rear. I get two different answers. Thank you for any help

Left and right is always based on perspective when sitting in the car. Driver side is the left. Passenger side is on the right. The etrailer Trailer Axle w/ Electric Brakes item # e35SR can be mounted facing either direction. You'll just want to make sure you put the brake assemblies on the correct sides and the bow is at the top.
