    Default bearing buddies


    I've lost a bearing buddy the last two times I pulled my trailer. I looked at the wheel while driving and It's not shaking or anything. The same hub both times. The thing fits tight so I don't think that's the problem. Any ideas. The ones I used were atwood and bass pro.

    I have lost them in the past. Don't trust them!!!! Finally just put the dust caps back on the hubs and repack my bearings twice a year!!!!

    If your hub is not worn, (ie bearing buddy fits tight) you have a bearing going out. Spend the 40 bucks and replace bearings and seals.

    Maybe you dinged something up when you installed the races.....new beaings often fail when not installed properly

    You got hub, race or bearing problems.
