Bearing buddies look better than what I have
Great product, easy installation.
Bearing Buddy fit perfectly. Made in the USA still means something!
Ordered these for my 5th wheel trailer 8 days before vacation. They were shipped and received with 3 days to spare. Installation was flawless. Thanks etrailer. Well done!

Just started our camping season. Pulled the caps off, hooked up the grease gun, pumped some grease and done. Took longer to write this then grease. No pulling the 4 tires to get to the bearings and getting my hands greasy.
Your product arrived on time and undamaged. It installed exactly as described in the literature. I am very pleased with my new Bearing Buddy's. As a side note I noticed a small amount of chrome machining debris inside the hub of the housings. It was easily cleaned out with a rag before installation. These Bearing Buddy's are installed on a 32 year old utility trailer I am refurbishing. Although the trailer is small (4 x 8) it has a 5000# axle and has seen some pretty tough use. Ive attached a pic of the trailer undergoing refurbishment along with a couple of pics of the installed Bearing Buddy's. Excellent product and service!
This product is as good as their rep have used them before on a
boat trailer never had a bearing go out as long as I used the
buddy bearings they are great! Service was just as good.
These bearings were installed on a heavy duty low boy trailer.
No pictures trailer is in South Texas about 300 miles from my location. Hauling oil field equipment. Picture of the trailer being
overhauled before new fenders were added.
Product as advertised, shipping speed was not fast but reasonable I think, shipping charge was very reasonable
These buddies have the correct depth and the slip on contact area is not chrome so the buddies holds tight.
Work great, have absolutely no problems with these bearing caps. Work much better than the etrailer brand caps I ordered at the exact same time for my other trailer.
Great product but I always have issues with the rubber caps coming off once they get a year or 2 of age on them,
Great for, I didn’t realize I had the ez lube axles and didn’t need these. I really like the covers better than the cheaper ones. I removed the inner zero assembly so I can use these as caps. Much thicker material and better looking.
Bearing buddies showed up with one missing, emailed CS and they shipped out two more! Emailed back that I only needed one and to send me a RAN.
Great experience and will use etrailer for further purchases.
While we only just received out bearing buddies. They are as described and installed easily. The only trouble was the beauty covers don't fit over the hubs any longer. Doesn't really matter as the product is attractive. The wheel studs not so much but we can live with that.
I will have to write another review after we have taken a few trips and greased things up a bit.
I recently upgraded to electric over hydraulic disk brakes from the hydraulic drum surge brakes that were on my boat trailer when I bought it. I scoured the web site and put together a list of parts for the conversion but still had a few questions. Lisa was most helpful and had some additional suggestions. She made my etrailer.com shopping experience the best online shopping experience ever. Once I had the brake parts I found my old Bearing Buddies didn't fit the new hubs so I ordered new Bearing Buddies and new coupler while I was at it. I ordered them on Sat. and they arrived today, Tuesday. I already have the new parts on and they are working perfectly. Thanks etrailer.com and thanks Lisa. You have a new customer for life.
They fit perfect. Took a 5000 mile trip this summer and was glad I had the option of applying grease to the bearings.

Still working a year later however a side note. Do not over grease as it will leak onto the inside of the drum and prevent the brakes from grabbing.
I put 4 of these on my 26' fifth wheel. The installation was very easy and exactly as described. I tapped them gently with a hammer to get them started and then used a block of wood and hammer to seat them fully for a nice tight fit.
Nice item and very easy to install, trouble free traveling.
Putting off greasing wheel bearings is so easy to do. Bearing Buddies make greasing wheel bearings easy because they give incentive. Only takes 5 minutes vs a couple of hours. Being on the side of the road with a break down from bad bearings isn't fun and totally preventable.
Haven't put it on yet,but the service and the tome it took to get it was excellent. Went to the dealer to get a buddy bearing they were all you need the Vin number of your trailer and what kind of axle it has,went Google Drive it and 3 minutes later had it ordered 6 days later I had it.
Lost one cap and the old ones were from a 2000 trailer. Working fine. good product.

no problems, have traveled locally and to different states.
The product and the service was exceptional. The Buddy Bearings fit exactly and were easy to install. The items arrived in a few days through the US mal without any problems. It was really nice to be able to track my order so I'd know when it was arriving. I will be ordering any additional items needed from etrailer.com because they actually had the best price I could find.
I've been using Bearing Buddies on my boat trailers since the early 80's and never had a trailer bearing fail. These are still the best solution to protect any bearings that get submerged. Make sure they are pumped up before each submergence and everything will last forever.
I work as a fisheries biologist for a state agency and travel hundreds of miles every week with my boat. These bearing buddies and other bearing products have worked great and were a huge upgrade over other trailer hub products I've had in the past. So far no issues.
Product arrive on time and in good cond. Fit and finish great recommend that anyone ordering these make sure u use a digital caliper as fit is critical . I wasn't able to find these local not even Napa carried this size so I did a search and found etrailer.com and they gave all the sizes so finding a match was easy.. Great product and great service.. Thanks Dave.

Provide your trailer wheel bearings with premium protection - replace your existing grease caps with Bearing Buddies. They install in seconds and provide an easy, safe way to monitor and control the level of grease in your axle hub.Fast shipping as always with etrailer. Measured inside diameter of hub with calibers and etrailer was the only one with that size. Fit perfect and easy install with a block of wood and hammer.
Great people to deal with.
Fits as they should. Easy to install. I have them on 4 trailers. Would not use anything else.
Anyone with any trailer experience has already heard of "bearing buddy" and if it wasn't a great product there wouldn't be so many copy cats. What impressed me the most was the fact they had them in the 2.3" size, and even more impressive is etrailer was the only place I could find them. To top it all off, I needed them in a hurry and etrailer got them here on time. They are great to use on any trailer, but I would never have a boat trailer without them, EVER.
Great product. Great distributor. Thanks etrailer!
I was looking for a difficult core size, (2 & 5/16"), and "thanks etrailer" for helping me after I first ordered the wrong size. I got my correct Bearing Buddy set for my older boat trailer. I am excited to put them into action.
The BB2328 is the exact size. It was difficult to get them started, as the alignment required exactness, but I managed and I will not worry about them to fall out or easily be stolen. These BBs are a seamless fit. Thanks again etrailer...
The Buddy Bearing ordered fit great based on the information received from etrailer advisor. They were very helpful based upon measurements supplied to them. The Buddy Bearing has performed excellent.
My buddies fit a little loose. I used a little lock-tight and some tension pins to keep them in place.
The Bearing Buddys were exactly as described and shipping was fast.
If you are buying Bearing Buddy’s measure VERY carefully. I bought model2240 based on my measurement and they were too small by .08 inch. I then ordered the 2328 which were a perfect fit.
We upgraded our bass trailer with this Titan swing away. It works really well. Major improvement!
Contacted etrailer.com by phone and spoke to John H. Extremely helpful and was able to steer me to the right size of bearing protectors that I needed. Will be shopping here again.
Bearing Buddies are excellent for boat trailers. etrailer.com provides prompt delivery of what I need
Fast shipping!!!
I received the wrong size buddy bearings. Asked for return info but never received.
I will not be using this for 3-4 weeks because the trailer is at a different location....However the initial sale and shipment have been serviced with excellent speed and communication
Thank you very much
I looked long and hard for these specific bearing buddies, great service!
etrailer was able to get me this part faster than my other vendors. Happy customer and will definitely use again.
They have been so great about returns and getting my order to me. I have mAde some errors and they did not make me feel like it was a big deal. They were also quick to fix any mistake. Awesome company to work with. Adam is one of the best!
Going on one year and the things are working great. Worth the investment.
So far these have held up great. I have had zero issues with them.
Great product, great place to deal with.
Bearing perform just fine
Fast service. Excellent package tracking site.
Work great so far. Fast shipping and great customer support.
Awesome product, very reasonable price and customer service that's second to none:)

Bearing buddies are nice simple to use but the main thing is to make sure you’re using the correct grease for bearings not just Plain old grease which will work in the short term but not recommended for the long haul
