Question:
Hello, Im looking for info I have the vault trailer bearing kit, I am going on year 6 and all is good with the seals and cap, I know they have a 5 year warranty and in some cases 10. do you think they need to be serviced? the trailer gets 400 miles a year

Hey Kenny, most likely everything is totally fine. 2,400 miles shouldn't be much at all for the bearings in your Vaul hub. As long as you haven't seen any grease/oil leak out of the hub and they aren't getting overly hot I would say your just fine.
Do you know what axle capacity you have? If you do I could let you know what the replacement parts would be so if you wanted to have them on hand just in case.
