axle

We have a 2018 21DS with about 800 miles on it, purchased new in October 2017. It handles well and seems to ride smooth, with no noticeable issues. While checking the tires, I noticed that one axle seems to have a small bend in the middle. I'm new to RVing and I'm not sure if this is a...

I have a 29' Solaire by Palomino TT with Dexter-Tor Flex Torsion Axles. We level it with Bigfoot automatic jacks and sometimes one tire might be off of the ground. Does this damage Dexter-Tor Flex Torsion axle??:feedback:

I have a 2016 Surveyor 32BHDS. I repacked the wheel bearings this week and noticed one of the brake shoes on one axel is really worn alot. It needs replaces. They are 10" x 2.25 shoes. I searched for replacements and you can buy just the shoes but it seems sometimes the entire assembly with the...

I just installed a lift kit on my single axle PUP. Forest River sent me a kit for a double axle. I paid FR $127 for the kit plus shipping. Fits Alco/Dexter axles. $20 plush UPS ground shipping (about $15 or so). My lift looks like this...photo "stolen" from rat4spd. But includes an extra...

I have a 2015 flagstaff 21fbs microlite. Dry weight 3865#. I added an extra battery. I was underneath the trailer and noticed that my torsion bar axles are rated at 2200# each. By the time I fill my fresh water tank and put in a toothbrush I'll be at max. Is this normal? Should I be concerned...

Does anyone know if Dodge wants you to only add 50 % of the weight removed from the front axle when using a WDH ? Or should it be as close to 100% not sure if it matters or not but specifically a RAM 2500 with diesel. I have seen this topic kicked around with GM and Ford but never really paid...

I need to replace just one hub on one side of my toy hauler (GW 27RR). Does Lippert or other mfg sell just the hubs directly? Or do I just have to go through a dealer? Thanks much in advance for any info. TC

This is for those that may want to check their wheel bearings for the amount of grease in/on the wheel bearings applied at the factory, or to check if TOO MUCH grease has been applied using the EZ-Lube system. You should be at least comfortable with mechanical tools and willing to get your hands...

I have a 2016 Apex Nano 191rbs 4500 gvwr The brakes have never felt very strong. Why does it have a 4200# Lippert axle with only 3500# rated brakes? Brakes are 10x2.25" Thanks in advance. Jim

How do I determine if my 2012 F250 Super Duty gas V8 has a 3.73 or 4.30 rear axle?

As a relative newcomer to the RV lifestyle, I've learned a ton on this forum. Lately I've been reading a lot about wheel bearings and axle lubrication. Simple question.....how soon and how often on a new trailer should I be considering routine maintenance on these items? Got the...

Ordered a Rockwood Geo Pro 17PR and the specs say axle weight is 2671 but the unloaded vehicle weight is 3161 so I know it’s not the axle weight rating. What does this number mean? Thanks for any help. This is about the only thing I haven’t been able to find an answer for on this site.

I've been frustrated in my search for a lift-kit for my 2014 HW-277. This trailer has a single Torflex axle. Before I resort to a local welder, I'm wondering if anyone here has had luck with any of the commercially available kits. Dexter Torflex offers this kit: K71-723-01: Frame Spacer Kit...

I was curious as to which axle the other people's crusader 294RLT have. Mine has 6 lug 5200 lb axles. that has me musing about this: if I am correct that means the actual gross allowed weight that I can legally be is 10,400 lbs. my certificate of origin listed my shipping weight as 9,061...

Does anyone know what the load rating is on the 2017 Wildcat 29RLX axles? Thanks.

So Ive seen on numerous forums the weight police pop in and air their 2 cents about tow vehicles being over weight. So being new to the trailer life just getting a 5th wheel. I happen to look at my trailer axles and notices there 5 lug and skimmy axles compared to even lets say a F150 set up...

Can anybody confirm the proper way of applying grease to your hubs would be through the Dexter ez lube system? I saw it on youtube. I have a 2016. I do not have my manual so I thought I would just throw it out there to see if anybody could confirm. Thanks.

I am looking for a little help here. I am wanting to replace the rear axle covers/lug covers or whatever the things are called. I never had the originals, I purchased it with them missing. I am having trouble trying to find out just exactly what was originally installed. The wheels are 19.5 ing...

While reading the Dexter document, "Operations Maintenance Service Manual 600 - 8,000 Lbs. Axle Capacity", I noticed they recommend/require that the trailer be stored with the weight off the axle(s). Under Storage Preperations, page 81 item #2 is: "Jack up the trailer and place jack stands under...

I have 3500lb axles and my GVWR is about 9100 lbs. I weighed my axles and the trailer axle weight was 7300lbs with a full tank of fresh water that is over my axles; and I also had my quad in a utility trailer hooked up behind (not sure what the tongue weight of that was, the quad weighs 450lbs...
