Trailer Wheel Bearings & Hub Service in Twin Falls & Kimberly, ID
Prevent Catastrophic Failure. Roll with Confidence.
The number one cause of roadside trailer breakdowns is wheel bearing failure. When grease breaks down or seals fail, bearings overheat rapidly, causing the hub to weld itself to the axle spindle. This turns a routine maintenance task into a massive, expensive axle replacement. At Total Trailer, we prioritize preventative maintenance to keep you safe on the road.
Our RVTI Master Certified technician doesn't just pump grease into a zerk fitting; we perform comprehensive, hand-packed bearing services. We pull the hubs, clean the old grease, inspect the races and spindles for scoring, hand-pack the bearings with high-temp premium grease, and install fresh, high-quality double-lip seals.
