They also run cooler than greased hubs and therefore will last longer as heat robs your bearings of extended life.


Properly greased and adjusted, bearings should not run hot at all.

Liqui-Lube makes a great product. Can relieve a lot of stress associated with towing long distances. I recommend it, especially for people who are not comfortable or capable of properly inspecting, repacking, and adjusting yourtrailer whell bearings on a regular schedule. And for those who just don't want to be bothered doing anything until they have a problem.

I had a bearing issue once, in 1983, on my brothers rig, on the way to Canada. Never again, I said then. And I haven't. I spend a lot of time each year inspecting, and servicing my bearings. I tow with confidence that I'm not going to have an issue.
