Benefits of Lubrication

2016 Rockwood 2280 Tent Trailer (2)Did you know that once particles of dirt and dust get into your trailer’s moving parts, it can cause friction and therefore break down of the whole trailer? You should always keep your trailer’s parts greased. It will help in keeping joints and axels moving smoothly. Before you take it back onto the road, do a little greasing first. Pretty much any part of your trailer that’s designed to move in some form or fashion or comes in contact with other parts should be kept lubricated to prevent corrosion and friction. Trailer parts like; a winch, ball hitch, springs and tongue jack all require lubrication and you should keep them greased throughout the year.

Trailer Parts Ottawa-Wheel Bearingshutterstock_318525419:

One of the most trailer parts are the wheel bearings. They are packed with inner bearings that allow the wheel bearings to move as a whole. Part of any trailer maintenance should include cleaning and greasing the wheel bearings for each wheel. In a nutshell what you would need to do is; remove your tire and any hardware holding your wheel in place on your axle. You’ll find your wheel bearing on the wheel hub, and it should be easily removed after removing the hardware holding it in place. You’ll want to soak the wheel bearing in gasoline to loosen grime and old grease. Remove the old seal, then the inner bearing. Thoroughly clean the inner bearing and the wheel bearing as a whole. After the trailer parts are completely dry, replace the inner bearing and seal the wheel bearing. Gently add grease to prevent breaking the seal, and wipe off any excess grease. Now’s also a good time to grease the axle.
