Ensure your trailer runs smoothly with high-quality bearings, races, seals, and caps. These components are essential for maintaining the integrity of your trailer's wheel system, preventing wear and tear, and ensuring a safe and efficient ride. Consider c
Oil bath systems offer the advantage of better heat dissipation and reduced maintenance compared to traditional grease systems. They keep the bearings cooler and can be more efficient, but installation requires careful attention to ensure seals are properly fitted.
Measure your existing bearings and seals carefully. Check the inner and outer diameters and compare them with the specifications of the new parts. If you're unsure, consult your trailer's manual or reach out to a knowledgeable supplier for guidance.
Bearing Buddies help maintain proper grease levels in your trailer's bearings, reducing wear and preventing water ingress, especially in marine environments. They are a great investment for extending the life of your bearings and ensuring smooth operation.
Consider the age and condition of your current bearings. If you're doing a full brake system overhaul, it's wise to replace the bearings as part of the process. Ensure compatibility with your trailer's specifications and opt for high-quality materials for longevity.
Seals prevent contaminants from entering the bearing area and keep the lubricant in place. Replacing them when changing bearings ensures a tight seal, preventing premature wear and extending the life of your new bearings.
