Will The Timken Bearing Kit For 3,500 Axles TMK52VR Fit A 4,400 Pound Axle?
Updated 03/26/2026 | Published 03/24/2026
Question:
I was looking for a replacement wheel bearing kit for my 2024 coachmen freedom express ultra lite 288BHDS. I took the hub apart and found bearings L44649 and L68149. I found Timken replacement kit TMK52VR that has the bearings im looking for, but it says its for 3,500lb axles. The axles on my camper say they are 4400lb and im just wondering if that timken kit will work? If not, could I get the part number for one that would? Thank you!

Hi Ryan!
The 3,500 pound axles and 4,400 pound axles actually use the exact same bearings and seal, so the Timken Bearing Kit for Lippert, Dexter, and AL-KO Axles - 3,500 lbs with #84 Spindle # TMK52VR you found is the correct part for you. Even though it says it's for a 3,500 pound axle.
The hubs/drums are actually the same across the two as well. The only thing that is really different between a 3,500 pound axle and 4,400 pound axle is the brakes, and even then it's really just the bolt pattern and magnet that are different.
Speaking of which, how are your brakes looking? Are you getting ready for a trip or just doing general maintenance?
