Question:
Hello, I am wondering if you can help me find what bearings and hub I need for a Dexter axle P-12 SLR serial D0978011. It’s under a 1998 pop up camper. I’ve never seen an axle like this with no springs. I wasn’t able to read the numbers on either bearing but they are different sizes. Also, is there any maintenance I need to do in addition to greasing the bearings? Any help would be greatly appreciated thank you!

It's probably a torsion axle and not a leaf spring axle. If you have the bearings already out try measuring the inner diameter of them and get me that info and I'll be able to tell more info from that.
As far as maintenance goes basically you just need to make sure there is grease in the hub and you're good assuming the bearings are in good shape etc. To pick out hubs I would also need to know the wheel bolt pattern as well.

I tried looking up the partial numbers I was able to get off the bearings, I forgot to measure while I had them out, and best I can tell they are L68149 and L44649. That as close as I can find online. It’s a five lug wheel on there now. Don’t know if that helps or not.
