25 ULA with Lippert axles

Has anyone on this forum had issues losing wheel bearings on their Lippert axles. Mine has 4400 lb. axles and I've had wheel bearings fail three times now and destroyed the axle two out of the three times! I installed both axles myself last year and this year. When I received the axle this time I decided to do a complete repack and new seals on all four. I was shocked at the very small amount of grease that was in each end! The EZ LUBE port was empty behind the grease fitting and there was just enough in each bearing to survive!

Have you contacted them about what you have found and was there any paperwork included with the axles to lube before you use? They should be shipped ready to use but your failures are not acceptable at all.

Hmmm, two axle failures in one year? What was the causation, lack of lubricant , improperly adjusted wheel bearings or overloading the axle?
