dexter 4400lb axles - no zerks?

[charley patton]

i decided to lube the suspension parts on my 262rb's first birthday, today. it has a pair of dexter 4400 lb axles assemblies. surprise! no zerks. can someone out there tell me why this is the case? it would seem all the bushings should be greased. maybe a dumb question, but i can't help myself. i apologize in advance.

I would think it has the lower end light duty suspension components that are sealed. I think think the suspension would last several years depending on use? I had an old 87 Jayco fifth wheel that still had the original suspension with no grease zerks before I finally sold it in 2010. I used it primarily for local camping and hunting trips. You can always upgrade to a more robust and suspension( CRE 3000) if needed in the future.

You might reach out to Dexter, Alliance or maybe even E Trailer to see if there is a wet bolt kit available for your model. It would be my opinion that Alliance would be best suited to answer your direct question as to why it isn’t equipped with zerks.

If equipped with nylon bushings, no grease! It destroys nylon.
