axle

New post so it's easier to find in the future. Nick Hoover and his parts person responded quickly to my question about the part number for the jacks on our 2020 GT5 which has a 15,000 GAWR rear axle (GT7's have a 15,000 or a 15,500 rear axle). The Forest River part number is 10F19574A but...

I have a 2020 Surveyor 272FLS with 4400 lb axles. The front axle is perfectly aligned with the hitch. However, the rear axle is not parallel to the front axle. One side is 3/8" off. This variance is confirmed at the frame hangers. My dealer service tech says this is within spec from the frame...

We have a 2018 Prime Time Avenger ATI 21RBS. We recently retired and went on our longest trip to date, over 6000 miles. Halfway through our trip, we noticed wear on the inside of the rear driver’s side tire. None of the other tires are showing any wear. We are thinking it might be a bent axle...

My wife and I recently purchased a used 2017 Prime Time Crusader 295 RST and during the negotiation discussion (long range) by phone and e-mails one of the questions I asked was the weight rating of the axles. The owner told me during our initial conversations and then again when we showed up to...

Hello all, I read in the manual and it says not to jack the unit from the Axle, instead the frame. Clearly I can see using the center of the axle as a BAD idea but does anyone jack it up closer to the wheel without any issues? Just curious if I am in a pinch on the side of the road or on a...

The wiring at the left front axle of our 27RK Wildcat has been torn lose from the chassie wiring where it ends and the leads from the electric brake at that axle hook into. At that point there are two two wire leads coming down from the frame. Each one of those wires dead ind into a solid...

I called a couple places and they said they don’t do travel trailer alignment Anyone around Fredericksburg had their axles aligned? I have odd tire where and need to get this fixed.

How do rear leaf spring weight capacities and rear axle weight rating go together to determine payload capacity? My 2500 truck has 5 leaf, 2600 lb. rated leaf springs and a 6000 lb. rated rear axle. Stated payload capacity is 2599 lbs. I am thinking of upgrading to 3500 7 leaf springs with a...

I just received my new Dexter axles, they arrived with two of the install brackets bent. I am willing to attempt to straighten for install. I have emailed Dexter on if I do attempt to straighten that I do not void warranty. What does everyone think. Hope if you expand picture you can see the issues.

Hello all- I have a 2012 Flagstaff 5er with AL-KO 4,000 lbs torsion axles. About two years ago, I had a blowout on relatively smooth roads at night. It was our 2nd trip out for our “new” trailer so I chalked it up a series of novice mistakes (too much water in fresh tank, not enough air in...

just sitting in my campsite today enjoying this much needed midwest cold fron when I noticed my axles look bent. It looks like both of them are the same. Is this by design? This 5th wheelcis only 6 weeks old so not old enough for wear and tear of this level yet.

I have a 2019 2304 DS Ultra Lite purchased new. I was under the trailer for the first time and noticed white wiring on the left side of the trailer coming down through the floor directly above the axle and zip tied to the axle. It doesn’t appear to be hooked to anything. The wiring for the...

Hi All, Need some help with lubing the axles for our 2015 Streamlite Toy Hauler 21Toy. It's been sitting on a RV site basically since we purchased it (wheels covered), now it is moving 400 miles to a new location. Already moved approximately 100 miles from the RV site for getting ready for the...

I’m looking to raise my Rv do to very low axle clearance to the frame. I’m looking at doing an axle flip- which is not really flipping the axle but relocating the springs to the top of the axle. I only noticed the small clearance after getting my propane line smashed between the frame and the...

The origin appears to be from a passing utility trailer. Getting hit with a smoking 40mph hub, wheel and tire could have been tragic. https://youtu.be/ZcaDz7oJmfE

Upon arriving at the site I find that the x-chocks, especially on the driver's side, won't fit between the tires. As I start looking at the whole setup I find that ALL four tires are rubbing/have rubbed a hole through the plastic wheel well. The rear tires essentially have no clearance. I can...

On a recent trip, I had to have the rear spindle on my dual 3500K AL-KO axle removed and a new one welded back in. Not a permanent fix but good enough to get me on my way. I know I need to have the axle replaced but my question is can I install a Dexter axle even though the front axle is...

I have to replace the axle flange gasket on my 2014 E-450 Super Duty MH chassis. Due to an improper tire change on the road, we had 6 out of the 8 studs break off. We suspect that the lug nuts were under torqued. After the roadside repair the flange gasket has been weeping. I suspect they...

Can somebody give me an idea of the dimensions of a board that would be appropriate to level my Coachmen. I had planned on picking up some Anderson leveling blocks, but they are out of stock.

On a recent trip to Knoxville, I had axle spindle issue. Called a mobile tech guy out of Columbus Indian to help. Impact gun stripped threads while trying to remove it. Either the nut was fussed to the spindle or the 240 degrees caused the spindle to swell preventing the nut from spinning...

Has anyone ever had an axle just rip off your 5th wheel or trailer while braking? Just curious cause it happened to me and it was a new trailer.

Hi I am looking for the specs on my trailers torsion axle. Camper, axle weight load etc. original axles on trailer, bad tire wear (inside) on one side. After 17 years may need to be replaced. Thank you.

I repacked my bearings a week ago and noticed some weld joints failing. Took it to the local weld/frame shop and he hooked me up. There were eight joints bad (I have 22K on the camper). He re-welded them all and it looks good. My question is: Just paint (Rustoleum) or undercoating? I'm leaning...

We have a 2020 Apex Nano 187RB, Outfitter and Off-Grid packages. So, with all that added weight, we only have about 450lbs of cargo capacity with a 3800# GVWR. Haven't weighed it yet, but I'm sure we're overweight. I downloaded the axle spec sheet from Dexter and was comparing the 3500#...

Hey all, Does anyone know if the aluminum Xchocks will open wide enough to work with theses spread axles???
