Should Trailer Hub/Drum be Replaced if it Has 1/8" Groove
Question:
The face of my RV wheel hubs have a 1/8 groove wore in them where the magnet sticks to it when applying the brakes. At what point should the brake hub be replaced? Can these be turned for more life?

A trailer hub & drum should be smooth, and should not have any groove in it. A 1/8" groove is pretty concerning and you should replace the drum right away, turning them won't work. I have added a link below to our selection of hubs which you can filter to find the right one, like for a 3,500 lb hub and drum the Dexter # 84546UC3-EZ.
