Question:

If I have Dexter ped 5200 lbs axles on my enclosed car trailer, would I be needing the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System - 4inch 5,200 lbs ASR5200S04?

Expert Reply:

Yes, the Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System item # ASR5200S04 would be a great option to replace a Dexter 5,200 lbs axle. These have an identical capacity and work with the 12" Dexter hubs like item # AKHD-655-6-EZ-K. The inner bearing is item # 25580 and outer bearing item # LM67048.

The Timbren Axle-Less Trailer Suspension System item # ASR5200S04 weighs 251 lbs combined and can be used on both single axle and tandem axle trailers.

I have linked a review video below.

I recommend using LubriMatic LMX Industrial Strength Grease item # L11390 to repack your bearings. You will want to grab one tube per axle. If you need a grease gun you will want to use item # L30480 and I strongly recommend using a bearing packer item # L70025 to not only make the job easier but it saves time hand packing the bearings.
