I'm sure I'm not the first to ask this question but I couldn't find any threads that address it. I have EZ-lube axles on my Arctic Fox 5'er. Is it safe to simply grease the bearings frequently with a...

From what I was told the new MobileSuites do not come with oil bath bearings. They are greasable. So does that make them EZ lube? Mine will be on the MorRyde system with Kodiak Disk Brakes.
That's an interesting point. The DRV Website still shows the oil bath bearings, but I understand that they went to grease-packed bearings in May 2014 (after our unit #6972 was built). I guess if I were ordering a new one and preferred one or the other, it would be something I would make clear with the dealer and/or Kyle @ DRV.
Since they made the switch after our unit, I don't know if the grease-packed bearings would have the EZ Lube cover or not.
You'll love the MorRyde independent suspension and Kodiak disc brakes - that's what our MS has and is a great leap up from the Dexter solid axles and electric drum brakes we had on our 2004 MS.

I have the Kodiak disk brakes currently on our 07.5 MS and they are great!
Rolling Retreats recommends staying with the factory standard and you use a grease gun to lube the wheels. So I was wondering are all that require a grease gun EZ Lube?
I am not sold on the idea of using a grease gun. I have no problem just repacking the bearings on an annual basis. Maybe I will ask if they just send it out old school way!
