đźš› DID YOU KNOW? IN ADDITION TO A YEARLY INSPECTION, YOUR TRAILER
BEARINGS NEED REGULAR MAINTENANCE! 🔧
Keeping your trailer bearings properly maintained helps prevent costly repairs, unexpected breakdowns, and unsafe towing.
đź“… How Often Should You Repack Your Bearings?
o Standard Trailers & RVs: Generally, once a year or every 12,000 miles.
o Boat Trailers: More frequently, especially when hubs are regularly submerged in water.
o Small Trailers: Some models with small, high-speed wheels may require servicing as often as every 2,000 miles.
o Heavy Loads & Off-Road Use: More frequent inspections and maintenance are recommended.
⚠️ Don't Ignore These Warning Signs!
o Grinding or whining noises
o Hubs that feel unusually hot to the touch
o Signs of worn or damaged bearings
These symptoms could indicate a problem that needs immediate attention.
🛠️ A Few Important Maintenance Tips:
✔️ Grease can deteriorate over time, even when your trailer isn't being used. Moisture and condensation can contribute to corrosion.
✔️ Always replace the grease seal and cotter pin when repacking bearings, as applicable. Never reuse old grease seals.
✔️ Regular inspections can help catch problems before they become expensive repairs.
🚨 DON'T WAIT UNTIL IT'S TOO LATE!
Protect your investment, tow with confidence, and keep your trailer rolling safely with proper bearing maintenance.
(Maintenance intervals vary by trailer model and manufacturer. Always follow your trailer manufacturer's recommendations)
