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.
Well here is the OP's original post. I noticed he did check the internet. But doesn't indicate that he was the one that talked directly to Lippert. Just that Lippert said. Maybe he did speak directly to Lippert. I didn't read it that way.
