PER DEXTER AXLE, THE WHEELS SHOULD BE 0 DEGREES FROM CENTER OR IT WILL CAUSE BEARING TO FAIL ,WHICH MINE DID. DEXTER WILL NOT WARRANTY THE AXLE, DUE TO PILGRIM INTERNATIONAL INSTALLING THE WRONG WHEELS ON THEIR CAMPERS. THIS COULD CAUSE A LOT OF ACCIDENTS. PILGRIM HAS SENT ME A CHECK FOR THIS TIME, BUT WHEN I ASKED WHAT THEY WERE GOING TO DO ABOUT THE WHEELS THEY SAID THEY WERE NOT SURE THAT WAS THE PROBLEM. IT MUST BE A PROBLEM OR THE AXLE MANUFACTURER WOULD WARRANTY THEIR AXLES. THERE IS PROBABLY ALOT OF THESE WHEEL AND AXLE COMBINATIONS OUT THERE ON THE ROAD AND ALOT OF THOSE PEOPLE DO NOT KNOW THERE IS A PROBLEM. LUCKY FOR ME I TOOK MINE TO TESH AND SONS TRAILER,SOMEONE THAT KNOWS ABOUT DEXTER NEVER LUBE AXLES. MOST PEOPLE ARE NOT GOING TO KNOW WHAT I JUST TOLD YOU. THEY DON'T KNOW THEY ARE IN DANGER. *TR
