How Often To Grease Hubs of Trailer and Grease Recommendation
Question:
travel trailer has bearing buddies what type of grease and how often should I grease them
asked by: Joe F
Expert Reply:
Standard tapered trailer wheel bearings are recommended to be re-packed with fresh bearing grease about every year or every 12,000 miles under normal use. In certain conditions this interval could be shorter, such as if you routinely tow the trailer under conditions of extreme heat or near its maximum load capacity. This and other recommended trailer maintenance procedures are outlined in the linked article, which may interest you.
The best grease around for trailer hubs is the "Red" grease like the Lubrimatic LMX Industrial Strength part # L11390. It's waterproof, heavy duty, and compatible with most other greases as well.
