[AT] More trailer questions..

[Jim and Lyn Evans]

Jack up your trailer and shake and spin the tires.  They should not shake
much from side to side, and should roll smoothly.  If the bearing is bad it
will feel rough and be noisy when you spin the tire.

Subject: [AT] More trailer questions..

I have a tandem dual gooseneck trailer.  It's a Cornpro built in 1991 and
has seen 1-3000 miles per year.  It has oil bath hubs on it that seem to
hold oil just fina as I check it often and have only had to add a little.
My question is this: I hear things about bad wheel bearings in trailers, but
I have no idea how to tell if my bearings are going bad, and even worse,
what to do about it if they are.  Can anyone on the list give me a few
things to check before I run into a big problem going down the road with a
full load?  I need to add a few things to my winter check list.  Thanks.

Enjoy, Joe
