"I am still trying to figure out why LCI should be warrantying some wheel bearings on 4 year old axles. Especially when two bearings fail on the same end (at the same time) of two different axles. Could it maybe be a maintenance issue? And I doubt Lippert makes bearings. But I also doubt they use special wheel bearings that you can't get from any good bearing house."
This trailer had Lippert SBS (sealed bearing system) bearings on it. They admitted (finally)that there was no way to grease or maintain the bearings.
A search was done for bearings that would fit and none were found.
Liippert also said they changed the axles and bearings and do not have them anymore. They upgrade them as "better things come along".
Everyone has an opinion and I have mine. Glad I do not have to deal with them again.
