Review on πŸ”§ Lippert Replacement Brake Hub Assembly for RVs, 10-Inch, 5 on 4.5-Inch, 1/2-Inch Stud - 3,500 lbs (Fully Assembled) - Improved SEO by Matthew Carr

Revainrating 5 out of 5

Not concentric on bearings and seals

Bought two of these, one has a slightly off center hub bore which at 45 mph unloaded (moves up to 55 mph) causes severe vibration under load. You can see that this is almost 1/4 inch round when the drum is rotating compared to a stationary base plate. Both drums I bought have bottlenecks when turning with the brakes adjusted. This was with all new skid plates and brake hardware. I've driven them 2,000 miles and they were fine at 70-75 freeway speeds, but on slower country roads the vibration was terrible. When I found out the problem the return window had expired so I spent the money on it and ended up buying a US made Dexter replacement which solved the problem.

Pros
  • Confident
Cons
  • Hard to say
