Guest windjamer Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Hi guys, many of us are geting ready to head south with are car trl. in tow. Dont forget to check the wheel bearings. I borowed a friends roll back and when checking the wheels I found 3 outter and 1 inner bearing badly pitted. I replaced them,but I hate to think of what MIGHT hace happened had I not checked.:eek: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
MCHinson Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Good reminder, Dick. I just went through mine yesterday and was amazed at how loose one of the hubs had become since last year when I paid someone to repack the bearings. I feel much better now having personally done the job. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest 1hooligan Posted May 9, 2010 Share Posted May 9, 2010 Horror stories, also check every 100 miles or so!! I was bring a 55 thunderbird back on my trailer, regreased before I left, and rechecked when I pick up the car. 150 miles later, while on the highway doing 65 mph, In the dark I happened to look in the rear view mirror. Me and my buddy had switched turns driving. A red glow.............SH-T, we had lost a grease cap from one wheel, in 100 degree weather, it had lost all grease, was red hot, and wobbling....I still have bad dreams about what could have happened. SO CHECK ALONG THE WAY OFTEN !! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
