You can determine what type and size of Bearing Buddy to use on your Airstream trailer by taking a look at the current hubs. You will need to know if the hub bore is threaded or not and you'll also need to take a precise measurement of the hub bore diameter using a dial or digital caliper. You'll need to measure to the nearest thousandth of an inch, or three decimal places like 1.781-inches.
Once you know your type and size of hub bore you can use the linked page to select those features by clicking on the filters on the page.
Let's say your hub bore is not threaded and measures 1.935-inches. The nearest larger size bearing protector would be diameter 1.938-inches. In this size we offer stainless steel set # BB1938SS and chrome-plated set # BB1938.
