Trailer Hub's

[bob pattison]

2012 Nitro Z6 noticed grease spun out on outside of left rim not alot enough to make a trppie pattern.Then looked at right side grease had spun out back side,alot grease all over inside of rim and all over axel area and fender.Need to regrease what type of grease silicon or traditional grease and should there be concern for the grease spining out , I do alot of trailering and those wonderful stock tires really don;t last. Thanks

in advanced this site rocks.

I use Marine Wheel Bearing grease, just check that your innner seal isn't suspect.

Throw those Trail America's in the bin, they are junk!

Check that your brakes aren't dragging if you have any.

+1 to what Mark told you. First find out why your hub let loose. Then repack and relube the bearing(s)....I'd do both sides while you are at it.

I had mine do that this year as well.I noticed it because there was smoke coming from both sides of the boat. my brakes hung up and overheated the hubs causing the grease to ooze out all over everything.
