Question:

Does this jack come with a bearing for the swivel caster, steel on steel, nylon, etc. Sort of tired of having to change the direction of the caster by kicking it.

The Fulton XLT Bolt-Thru Swivel Trailer Jack # F26ZR TruTurn 360-degree caster doesn't run on a bearing and the wheel only has a standard bolt. According to Fulton, the TruTurn only means that it is capable of rotating 360 degrees.

For a swivel jack that you won't have to kick to change the direction I recommend the Ark Xtreme Off-Road Swivel Trailer Jack # ORJW750BD. This jack has sealed bearings which act as bushings to hold the wheels in line on the cross shaft, and also has 2 wheels which will make for easy turning.

You can see this jack in action in our review video attached below.
