    Wheel bearings

    Anyone know where to buy quality bearings and races for the lippert 5200 lb axle?
    I live in Canada, would be nice not to have to cross the border.
    Thanks

    Following this one. I would like to know too. Going to repack my bearings at the end of August and would like to have some spares on hand before I start just in case.

    I would take a set of bearings and a seal to a bearing store or auto parts store. They can use the numbers to cross them over. They are just common automotive wheel bearings.

    Hi Paul,

    Cerka is a big name trailer parts supplier in Canada http://www.cerka.ca. Their website has exploded view part numbers for each axle size.
    The LCI Chassis Manual that came with our trailers also has exploded view drawings that include part numbers.
    As noted earlier, any bearing/seal supplier will be able to cross reference the OE part numbers.
    Most "brand name" parts boxes will end up having Chinese parts inside . . . except perhaps SKF.

    I replaced mine a couple months ago with Timkin bearings which I'd always heard were decent. They certainly seemed to roll a lot smoother than the ones Lippert originally supplied. I got most of them on Amazon, but a couple they didn't have I got from Rock Auto.

    Checked out the Cerka website. Looks like Chinese bearings wherever you look, kits for 30 dollars oppsed to a Timken bearing at 30 $ each bearing plus races etc.
    I guess most everything going down the road is running on China
    Thx

    My spare timkens bought in 2017 are marked on the bearings USA. The timken seal box says Taiwan
    A couple of the bearing boxes also say assembled in USA.
    I'd also gotten some timkens for a pickup that were marked Poland.

    For 6K w 12"x2" drum brakes; my bearing PN were: 25580, 25520, 15123, 15245, seal 412920.

    5200 axles with drum brakes sounded like they used same inner 25580, 25520, and 412920 seal.
    A different outer bearing and race: LM67048, LM67010
