Replacement Axle Solution for Camper with Bearing Numbers M12649 and LM48548
Question:
I have a makeshift trailer that I believe was made from a 1970 Impala. The bearings are M12649 and LM48548. Do you have replacement hubs that will fit a spindle that uses those bearings?

Expert Reply:
Unfortunately, we don't carry any replacement hubs that are compatible with the bearing set you specified. I'm guessing your camper is pretty old, as I wasn't able to find any information on those hubs.
Your best bet at this point would be to replace the axle with one that uses modern spindles. We do offer some off-the-shelf axles in the more popular sizes. To choose the correct replacement, I'll need to know the axle capacity or the GVWR of the camper, the hub face to hub face dimension and the center to center distance between the spring seats.
If you can provide that information, I'd be happy to look through our axle selection to see if anything we offer would fit your needs. I also attached a link to this page that has all of the axles we carry as well.
