Just had to replace my Lippert axles with Dexters. I had a bad bearing and Lippert had no replacement bearings available. The shop checked everywhere; I checked the internet, and could find none. Lippert said I would have to buy an entire new axle assembly to get a new bearing.
I decided to just buy new Dexter axles; at least they make replacement bearings. Don't know what's going on with Lippert and their axles. Cost me a bundle!
This sounds like the worst kind of false pretense upsell. Might want to be suspicious of that shop.
You need a bearing and they sell you new axles, and installation.:h:h:h
If you read the OP's post he also searched and talked to Lippert about this, so I don't believe it was an upsell. Just poor manufacturing practices by Lippert.
