Like most people, in 10-12 years of trailer ownership I always took my trailer wheel bearings in stride saying "it's not a boat trailer in water, so the bearings should last forever...."
this just happened last week, lucky lucky lucky in was in my driveway and didn't have the KRX on it at freeway speed.
Ate an outer bearing and the friggin' tire fell off at 5 mph in my driveway. SUPER lucky !
People!!!, jack up your trailer at least once a year and check for bearing slop, and grease 'em every couple years. I put on brand new hubs, bearings, seals, and tires on both sides. I'm super lucky it didn't bugger up the spindle.
CAN'T IMAGINE what would of happened or what I would of done with the KRX loaded and traveling at 60 mph!
