Is it not under warranty?
Maybe not, as he could of purchased a 2016 as early as March or April of 2015. Add to that the extreme amount of time most people experience with Forest River and their warranty for approvals etc. Maybe the OP does not feel like losing weeks or months of use for a backing plate and grease seal which FR probably would deny coverage on regardless.
As far as Lippert Axles having interchangeable bearings and seals with Dexter, that is sometimes but not always
the case. Lippert loves to change things around. We have had some Lippert Axles come into the shop recently that we had one hell of a time finding bearings for. Lipperts MO is, at least since Jr took over, to make replacement parts proprietary. Then they make you pay through the nose for them.
