So my coworker and I were discussing trailers a couple of weeks ago. He was looking for a single axle utility for his side business, and said he had found a few close by that seemed like good deals. He ended up getting a used Big Tex, I think it is. The sticker said it was built last October. One wheel had grease all over it, and I mentioned that the bearings may already be shot. He said the previous owner owned a restaurant and hauled his old grease to the recycle center, and that was what was on the wheel. I bent down and smelled and yes, it was cooking grease. Now, for the heck of it, I reached down and wiggled the tire, and it had about 1/8' - 1/4" of play, same on the other side. I happen to have my trailer hooked up today to move a gun safe tonight, and it does the exact same thing. We just checked 2 more trailers here at work, and they do it as well. All 4 trailers were built within the last 4 years. Is this the norm now for trailers, or could all 4 trailers have worn the bearings enough to cause this problem? Mine only has maybe 100 miles on it since I got it. One of the companies trailers gets used a good bit, the other maybe twice a month during the summer and has maybe 300 - 400 miles on it. I do plan to check mine out during lunch today.
