axle

Vibe 28BH; after my last trip i went to grease my bearing through the bearing Buddy. Found out i do not have that capability. My question is, do these models have sealed bearings? I'm assuming either way they need to be repacked. Does anyone know the part number for the axle seals? TIA

If you haven't checked your axles and bearings........here is how NOT to do it.

On our new Micro Lite it came with the TST TMPS system. It shows the tires on the rear axle running about 10 degrees hotter than the front axle tires. Seems weird to me but you RVers with more experience would know. First TT with TPMS.

Hi, Anyone have information on the specs for the rear axle on a 2008 Kingswood (Model 235BH). My left rear bearings disintegrated and I have to replace the spindle, hub/drum, brake shoes, and brake controller. Thanks in advance.

I can't ignore the Thuds and bangs and my silverware clanging in the drawers from the rear end slamming on the many miles of what passes for roads nowadays, especially bridge transitions. First step is to install Donvel motion control on the drive axle, unless I hear otherwise. I searched all...

Note: My single axle is SUPPOSED TO BE a Dexter 4400 lb. capacity axle per the specs. It is a 3500 lb axle instead. THE WRONG AXLE - the Platinum model is a heavier trailer, so the 3500 lb. axle is inadequate. Aside from the fact that my bill of sale has the wrong model year for my Salem FSX...

Can a single axle support a dual axle trailer while stationary I'm going to be installing a Dexter lift kit onto my dual axle surveyor select. Rather than jacking and putting the entire trailer on jack stands I thought it would be easier to roll both tires on the same axle on ramps elevating...

How bad is this? Background: Last year I had a bearing go bad that required replacement of the axle. At that time, I had the repair shop replace the bearing sets on both sides of the all other wheels. Today I was giving the trailer a going over and on jacking up the tire behind the one...

I purchased a 19MBH in January. A couple of days ago, I noticed that one of the wheels is pointed out at the front slightly. I called Lippert and discussed this with one of their service reps who had me make several measurements to confirm that it is not correct. Lippert needs the Date of...

Anyone attempt to replace their 3,500# axle (single) with a 5K# axle? Any advice and/or someone to take it to around LA area to look at mine? After two broken springs and replacing the tires every season due to "overloading" (translation: putting anything more than water in it, LOL) I'm done...

Tire/Axle advice. Last February after several long trips putting 10,000 miles on a new set of Goodyear Endurance tires I was in Albuquerque and found the inside of my driver side front axle was worn extremely worn. I did not want to drive home on this tire so I put a new one on it. When I was...

I have a two-axle trailer. Each axle is a 3,500 pound axle. So the trailer has a maximum weight of 7,000 pounds. This makes sense to me -- with two axles, the front axle can support the weight above it and to the front, and the back axle can support the weight above it and to the back. With...

We have a 2021 grey wolf 26dbh and I am wondering if it has the quick lube connection or will I have to repack the bearings by hand. We are expecting more snow this week so I can't really take the tire off to check. Thanks for the help

I bought a 2021 E450 30' class c motorhome, We now have 7000 miles on it. The rear axle has a ring gear noise that starts at 62 mph and stops at 68 mph. I owned a 3010ds before this one and do not remember hearing any ring gear noise on it. Are all of the newer e450 class c motorhomes making a...

I have been considering an axle upgrade on our 27RR to 5200 lbs. six lugs when I ran across this 2018 27RR with 7000 lbs. eight lugs axles swapped in. It seems like overkill to me but 5200 should be very doable. I might even gusset and upgrade the frame. What do you guys think about this one...

Has anyone upgraded their 3500# axles to 7000#? It was recommended to us to do this since we haul 2 Harley’s in our unit. We blew bearings on a tire with the 3500# axle.

Has anyone had any real bad experience with getting 2 new tires for the steering axle, then moving those tires to the rear? I'm well aware the old steering axle tires will be a different OD than the other two. Yes, the differential will be working even going down a straight highway. So its...

My buddy took this picture while we towed home recently. He said it was like this for a while, but by the time we stopped for fuel, it was tracking straight again. Broken suspension bolt maybe?

Good morning, I have an ‘04 Forest Riber Wildcat 30’ 5th wheel TT suspended on 2 axles. This week , we went to a campground in San Diego and when I got down to insert leveling pads on the driver (slideout) side, I saw that the shackle plates from the equalizer to the front eye of the trailing...

Does anyone know of a shop that will do an alignment job in the Atlanta GA area? I have called several and no one will do it. Plenty will replace but nobody will bend / check alignment.

We are in the process of purchasing a new 8362 MBR from Aloha RV in Bernalillo, NM. As part of the deal we are having the trailer raised due to a challenging driveway and also installing an auto leveling system. While doing this the shop discovered missing nuts on the Dexter axle requiring the...

Does anyone know of a shop that can check my trailer axles and perform an alignment if needed in the St. Louis area?

Has anyone on this forum had issues losing wheel bearings on their Lippert axles. Mine has 4400 lb. axles and I've had wheel bearings fail three times now and destroyed the axle two out of the three times! I installed both axles myself last year and this year. When I received the axle this time...

We bought a 2021 Palomino Solaire Ultra Lite 294DBHS a couple months ago. Anyone else’s travel trailer under body touch the axles? The way it’s cut and bolted up looks like it was meant by the factory to do this. Also, anyone else able to feel the joints between panels in the flooring flexing...

As the title states. I am having both axles on my Coachman 248Rbs replaced. One axle is bent and because they are so cheaply built I am replacing both with a higher quality axle. I have yet to find any information on the proper way to raise the TT so as not to cause a flex or bend in the...
