Did my pre trip and noticed one of my brake chambers was hanging lower than the other. The first pic from above where you can see silver metal is the one that’s hanging. Looks as if something may be broken off. The second pic from the side is the other normal brake chamber. What’s missing?
Tractor brake chamber is hanging. What part do I need?

The mounting bracket for the chamber is broken Do not drive this if at all possible. The brake is not working for that wheel/axle. From the condition of the push rod, it looks like this has been broken for a while.
This is an OOS condition. -
call road service or have it towed and get it fixed RIGHT.
TX2Day Thanks this. -

It's gonna need a s cam tube. Not a hard fix. Me personally, I would deliver. As long as your other brakes are good, i think you're legal under the 80% rule???? But you need to secure it.
I've broken 2 over the last 2 years and drove them home, but my truck tooblairandgretchen, 201, 77fib77 and 3 others Thank this. -
guess it’s your call.
The chamber mount is broken. The only thing keeping it on the truck is the air lines and the push rod. I am not one to mess with brake issues. Just not worth the hassle. -
Oxbow and Big Road Skateboard Thank this.

Wargames Thanks this.
