On the menu bar there's a link to the Grand Design parts lookup website (https://www.granddesignrv.com/owner-...y/parts-lookup). When your trailer is selected from the options and Chassis/Frame/Axle is selected the very first part shown is the axle.
On the Dexter you'll have zerks to lube the bushings where the shackle bolts are shown in the diagram below.
You may also have an "E-Z Lube" fitting on the end of the spindle for the wheel bearing. I've read many, many cautions about NOT using that zerk.
I'm far from an expert on this topic, so the truly knowledgeable will be along soon to add to what I've posted.
I've also attached Dexter's manual for you. Dexter 600-8,000lbs Axle Operat - Dexter.pdf
Finally, if you plan on lubricating the suspension yourself this is very helpful little device:
Note I've moved this thread to the Suspension, Brakes and Tires channel.

Our old trailer had Dexrer E-Z lube axles on it and the Imagine has the Lippert version. I re-pack my bearings every other year, on the off years I use the grease fittings AS DIRECTED and have never had a problem.2017 Imagine 2650 & 2019 F-250 (Got tired of the F-150)
