There is a probable difference in the bearings used in the vast majority of trailers and in an automobile. There are different grades of roller bearings and all of the bearings I have seen including those from Dexter are from China and of unknown quality. There are also different types of grease with different characteristics. I replaced the stock Dexter bearings with NSK bearings and seals and used Amsoil synthetic grease hand packed and do not plan on redoing them for a few years. We will not be fording streams or out west on dirt roads for years and I will check hub temperatures and adjust breaks, (how many have the tool to do that and remember how).
