Get Ready for Your Next Adventure with Alpine RV & Trailer Repair

 A trailer brake inspection and wheel bearing service are essential for safe towing and preventing costly failures. This service includes inspecting brake components such as shoes, magnets, drums, and wiring, along with proper brake adjustment to ensure consistent stopping power.

Wheel bearing service (bearing pack) involves removing the hub, cleaning and inspecting the bearings and races, replacing seals, and repacking with high temperature grease. Bearings carry the full load of your trailer and operate under heat and stress. When lubrication breaks down, it can lead to overheating, hub damage, or even wheel loss.

Manufacturers like Dexter Axle recommend inspecting and servicing wheel bearings every 12 months or 12,000 miles, whichever comes first.

Having this service performed by a professional ensures proper torque, correct materials, and thorough inspection. This reduces the risk of brake failure or bearing damage while keeping your trailer safe on the road.
