This assembly is a pre-packaged collection of components designed for use in specific trailer axles manufactured by Dexter Axle. It includes bearing races, bearings, and seals, all engineered to provide proper rotational support and sealing within the axle hub. The numerical designation differentiates it from other similar kits, indicating compatibility with particular axle models and weight capacities. This ensures correct fit and performance when replacing worn or damaged parts.
The importance of using the correct bearing kit lies in ensuring the safe and reliable operation of a trailer. Properly functioning bearings reduce friction, allowing the wheels to rotate smoothly and efficiently. This contributes to fuel economy and prevents excessive wear on the axle. Using the designated kit guarantees that all components are matched and compatible, preventing premature failure and potential hazards associated with wheel bearing malfunctions. Historically, these kits represent a streamlined approach to maintenance, simplifying the replacement process for trailer owners and service technicians.
