Keep your trailer rolling safely with this direct-replacement outer bearing race from Lippert. Designed specifically for 7,000 lb axle hubs, this race (manufacturer reference 14276) is the precision-matched counterpart to the Lippert 127009 outer bearing cone. Bearing races and cones wear together -- replacing both at the same service interval is the industry-standard best practice and the right way to protect your hubs, wheels, and axle.
The outer bearing race is the hardened steel cup pressed into the hub that the tapered roller bearing cone rides against. Over time, heat cycling, contamination, and normal wear score the race surface, making a fresh bearing cone nearly useless if installed against a worn race. Lippert 127012 is machined to the correct taper geometry and surface finish to restore proper load distribution and bearing life.
This part is sold individually. The companion outer bearing cone (Lippert 127009) is sold separately -- see that listing to complete your bearing service kit.
Engineered specifically for Lippert 7,000 lb capacity axle hubs -- not a universal fit that has to be forced into place.
Precision-machined bearing race with hardened raceway surface to handle the radial and thrust loads of trailer wheel bearings.
Manufacturer reference number 14276 is the cross-reference used in Lippert service documentation and hub rebuild kits.
Backed by Lippert's limited 1-year manufacturer warranty for defect-free performance from a brand that builds the axle systems themselves.
A tapered roller bearing system works as a matched set. The cone (inner race with rollers) and the cup (outer race) develop a wear pattern unique to each other during use. Installing a new cone on a worn cup -- or a new cup under a worn cone -- creates a mismatch in surface geometry that accelerates failure and can damage the new component within a single season. Lippert and virtually every axle manufacturer recommend replacing both at the same time.
The outer bearing race is a press-fit into the hub bore. Proper installation requires driving the race squarely and fully seated against the hub shoulder -- an improper seat will allow the race to walk under load. Use a bearing race driver set or a suitably sized socket and mallet. Never strike the race face directly.
