Trailer Bearing Replacement

[DONAOL]

Have a 2021 Tracker trailer and just noticed grease leaking from the inside bearing seal. Called Tracker Service Center and was told it’s no longer under warranty. 1yr on trailers. Looking for suggestions on better quality replacement bearings. Will not replace with any Tracker bearings or seals that fail after 2 1/4 years old. Single axle trailer.

Wipe it clean and monitor it. Might be too much grease in hub, causing it to leak out.

Possibly. First time in 30 years I’ve ever had a problem with bearings. Never a leak. Never even had to replace one. Thanks for the advice.

take the bearing and seals to IBT and get better quality parts.

Since this post is back on, did you get bearing issue resolved?

No. The boat went into winter storage. I’ll have to have the rear seal replaced in the spring. I’m hoping it’s just the seal, but will have the bearing and hub inspected. Will post what was done in the spring.
