What You Need to Know and Do about Damaged Trailer Wheel Bearings


Does your truck make irritating screechy sounds whenever you make a turn around a curve? Or does it feel “wiggly”? Chances are your wheel bearings aren’t in good condition. Bearings keep the wheels from wearing out due to friction.

Trailer Wheel Hubs: Choosing a Perfect Fit

A wheel moves because of the axle, and the wheel hub connects both parts to make the system fully functional. Your trailer’s wheel hubs are as important as the wheels themselves, and therefore requires the same maintenance. Failing to do so might cause difficulty in steering or result in a broken axle.
