Hubs, Bearings
& Seals

Protect the parts that carry every mile. We grease, inspect, and replace trailer bearings, seals, and hubs for routine maintenance and wheel-end repairs.

About this service

What This Service Covers and When to Get Help

Bearings, seals, and hubs work together at every trailer wheel. Grease protects the bearings, seals help keep grease in and contamination out, and the hub supports the rotating assembly. Heat, water, age, and normal wear can eventually compromise any of them.

We recommend servicing wheel ends at the same time as the brakes. The hubs already need to come off for a thorough drum-brake inspection, so combining the work is usually more efficient and cost-effective.

What to expect

What Happens During Service

01

Disassemble and clean

We remove the hub and clean the wheel-end components so wear can be evaluated.

02

Inspect and measure

We check bearings, races, seals, spindle surfaces, grease, and the hub condition.

03

Pack, replace, and set

We install the approved components, repack bearings, set the wheel end, and verify operation.

Pair wheel-end service with brake service

Taking care of hubs, bearings, seals, and brakes in the same appointment can reduce duplicated labor and gives you a more complete view of the trailer condition.

Common questions

Questions About Hubs, Bearings & Seals

How often should trailer bearings and seals be serviced?

Service intervals depend on use and environment, but we recommend inspecting them with annual brake service. Boat trailers and high-mileage commercial trailers may need closer attention.

Are Timken bearings available?

Yes. Timken bearings are a premium option and can cost more than common bearing brands, depending on the application.

Do you stock trailer hubs and bearings?

We keep most common hubs, bearings, and seals in stock. Less common or heavy-duty applications may need to be ordered.
