Explore our selection of races designed to fit perfectly with your trailer bearings. Whether you're upgrading an old trailer or maintaining a high-load axle, our races ensure a smooth and reliable fit. Ideal for enthusiasts looking to enhance their trailer's performance and longevity.
Choosing the right race is crucial for ensuring a snug fit with the bearing, which helps in distributing loads evenly and reducing wear. This is especially important for trailers carrying heavy loads or used frequently, as a well-fitted race can prevent premature bearing failure and enhance overall performance.
To ensure a proper fit, check the part number of your existing bearing and match it with the race specifications. Many enthusiasts find success by using a race driver for installation, ensuring the race fits snugly without damage. Compatibility with your trailer's axle size is also key.
Yes, races vary based on the type of trailer and its load requirements. For instance, high-load trailers may require races designed for durability and strength, while others might focus on speed. It's important to choose a race that matches your trailer's specific needs for optimal performance.
Replacing a damaged race is doable with the right tools, such as a race driver and a mallet. Ensure the new race is compatible with your bearing and axle. Many find it helpful to watch installation videos for guidance, making the process smoother and ensuring a proper fit.
For older trailer axles, consider the axle's load capacity and speed requirements. Some older axles may need races that accommodate high loads at lower speeds. It's also important to verify the availability of compatible parts, as older models might have unique specifications.
