axle

Hi, I read somewhere that new axles come with too little grease and it's best to grease them, even new. I have an ez-lube dexter tortion axle on my new Geo Pro. Trailer was manufactured in April of this year, we bought it in October and put only a few hundred miles on it this year. Should I...

Hi all, In a week I pick up my 2019 407FW. I’ve been looking everywhere to find the distance from the rear axle to the back of the coach (Hoping to compare to my ‘15 Winnebago regarding the upgrade turn onto my road.) - and also would like to find the hitch or exhaust pipe height. I forgot to...

Hello, I have a 2011 Flagstaff Mircolite 23FB. After a 7000 mile road trip this last summer I believe I need to replace my axles. The existing axles are ALKO U19 rated for 2200 lbs. The trailer itself is 3950 lbs dry weight, so I'm very close to the axle capacity. I'd like to upgrade to...

Going to do both axles this winter. Looking at the choices online my head is about to explode. I prefer US made. Dexter seems to be the highest priced. Any brands I may consider or avoid. Without even pulling a wheel my guess is the hub/drum assembly may need replacing also. I will stick with...

Hey Folks, Can anyone tell me what weight rating the axles are in the Alta 2810KIK (2021 model year if that changed). I'm assuming with a GVWR over 9000 lbs they are probably the 5.2k ones - can anyone confirm? Thanks. Sean.

2022 TFQ2413: 4,700 miles, right rear tire down to metal belts, RH fwd tire approximately 1/2 tread left. LH side tires have minimal wear. Dealer found axles "bent" and RH leaf springs flat. We have to pay freight and 1/2 labor, Lippert covering parts and 1/2 labor. I'm concerned it will...

We are changing the tires on our single axle trailer (wolfpup 16fq) ... we have bottle jacks to jack up the trailer ... Not going to jack with the bottle jack on the axle, going to lift with jack on the frame. Can we place two axle jacks on the axles to hold the camper in place while we go to...

Just in case anyone is interested and hesitant to try these updates, I thought I would post my recent changes to the running gear on my 2021 Wolf Pup 16pfbl. All were successful EMCO 2900lbs springs Part #PR5 -Old springs were 2500lb versions and had begun to droop a little. The loaded...

New owner, so please be patient. I have searched and read almost all posts regarding this, but have a newb question. We have a new 2024 Nobo 19.2 with curt beast mode suspension and lippert frane/ axle. Picked it up last Friday. Does anyone know what brand grease comes in the bearings? I...

I am new owner of a 2009 FR Wildcat 25RL. The previous owner said he never checked the wheel bearings so I thought I would. They are sealed JRM4249-JRM4210XD-TIMKEN bearing with a lock nut that holds the hub/brake drum on. I sent FR support the info from the axle tag, and he reached out Lippert...

I am wondering how to tell if the torsion axles on my 2008 Forest River Rockwood Ultra Lite are going bad. Attached is a picture from one side of the rear axle. Is that rubber that's torn an indication that the axle is going bad? I've read about jacking the trailer up and measuring for at least...

Took home a FR trailer this week and it's great. TV is a 2016 RAM 5.7. Mods include Fox 2.5 leveling shocks in the front, Fox 2.5 rear shocks and Tufttruck HD rear springs. Max TV front and rear axle ratings are 3900 lb each. Per the CAT scale, the empty TV front axle weighs 3280 lb., rear...

Hi everyone Traveling home from vacation and stuck in the middle of Montana, blew a tire and the whole axle bent. Looking for specs to buy a new axle for my 2021 wolf pup preferably an upgrade to the original. Tried google but couldnt find anything. If anyone can help asap. Will try to find it...

My 2021 GeoPro has a single torsion axle. I have pored through the posts here and pretty much find discussion around jacking limited to multiple axle trailers. I get that that multiple axles are more complicated. With a single axle is there anything wrong with simply placing a jack under...

Asking about my 2021 R192 I bought new. I am on the second passenger side tire in 36 months this month. At 25 months, the one on the passenger side exploded while driving through Atlanta. Clear day and no objects in the hiway. It had just under 10,000 miles on it. Bought two new tires in GA...

I was underneath my 2021 179dbk replacing tires like every spring as for some reason I always get cracked sidewalls from the fall to the spring. Anyways, I noticed a sticker on my axle I had never seen before. It stated 4400lbs. Now according to my weights sticker, I have 4800lbs for the gross...

Just signed contract for 31ss, should arrive in a couple weeks. Will want to set tire pressure for the 500 mile drive home; need to know approximately front/rear weighs (I will weight it at feed store once home). Can anyone share their actual weights?

First post here, please bear with me... Our R-Pod 192 is in the early beginning stages of this: https://www.forestriverforums.com/forums/f197/rpod-frame-bent-244234.html Let me start by saying we really like the R-Pod from a user perspective, but after 2 years and about 10,000 miles, it has...

I had my son drive the Force while I stood in the back trying to ascertain the proximity of a loud clunking when going over road bumps. It sounds like a solid metal to metal, and you can actually feel it under your feet. It's pretty clearly in the vacinity of the rear-end. A number of visual...

Lippert 7000 torsion axles on a 2020 Sundowner toyhauler. In March of ‘22, we were leaving a campground in Florida and headed home to Arkansas when we heard a weird noise. Stopped in the parking area and discovered the left rear wheel hanging out of the side of the fender. It appeared the cotter...

I have Dexter 5k axles #9163962. Does anyone know the axle seal this takes? Or do I just need to go ahead and pull a wheel to get the number for it? Was hoping to find the seals before I had to pull the wheel. it is time for the 10k mile maintenance.

I thought I recalled a thread or post a while back about the spacer block on the front axle of the Dx3. I haven’t been able to locate it. I was wondering the reasoning for the block? It makes it look like the motorhome is nose up going down the road. Anyone have any info?

I have a 2010 FR Work and Play. Didn’t realize my bearings were bad and now I need to replace an axle. It’s measuring either 78 5/8 or 78 3/4 center to center neither of which are standard sizes when trying to order one online so people are telling me that can’t be the correct measurement. Do I...

Hey Forest River Forums, I recently purchased my first travel trailer, 2021 R-Pod 180, and I didn't catch the un-even wear on the tires and chamber inwards. My guess is that the torsion axle was over loaded at some point and will need to be replaced. Luckily they are bent about the same and...

I have a new-to-me 2011 390BH 340hp. It immediately needs all new tires and I found mention on these forums, from many years ago, of the front axle upgrade that added larger airbags and 275/80R22.5 tires instead of the OEM 255/80R22.5. Contacted Forest River service, Freightliner Service in...
