I may replace my ten year old neverlube bearings just for peace of mind. I was wondering if an auto parts store might carry the equivalent bearing or if anyone would have a replacement of higher quality. My trailer has 7000 lbs. axles with 8000 lbs. brake assemblies. Does anyone have any experience with these Dexter bearings? I know I can get them through Dexter, but I'd like to get the highest quality I can get. The labor and time are worth more than the bearings, so I'd like to get good ones. I want to stay with sealed bearings.
Do you replace the wheel bearings in your cars and trucks for a warm fuzzy feeling also? Those "neverlubes" are pretty much one and the same as automotive wheel bearings.
Just check them for play or anything short of a smooth rotation.
