When I got home from the lake today I noticed the metal dust cap missing from the right side wheel on my 2014 Trailstar (Tracker) trailer. This trailer has through axle lubrication so it uses a dust cap with a rubber plug rather than a Bearing Buddy. Considering the tight fit of the dust cap it was hard to believe it came off.
Well I got a new cap and jacked up the wheel to add more grease. That's when I discovered a significant amount of play in the bearings ... the ones I replaced on Sept. 26th. Hmmm! Jacked up the other side and it's even worse. It also has grease leaking from the rear seal!
As soon as I finish my coffee the wheels and hubs are coming off so I can inspect for damage. Glad it happened now and not halfway to D'Arbonne.
