[QUOTE="raider, post: 229438, member: 353"] i had turbo lube hubs on a boat trailer bout 15 years ago when they first came out - slick deal - for a while... i had 2 of the caps on the front crack, and also had a bad seal on the inside of 1... i went back to analog with solid dust caps and check/tighten them once per season and repack every other year... the repack takes bout 2 beers and you will not have to worry anymore... when i looked at the new nitro they had a newer version of the turbo lubes with some insane statement bout not needing service for 80,000 miles... 3 of the 4 are leaking already after running ~ 3000 miles... i'll have new old fashioned hubs and bearings and solid dist caps on by freeze up... if it ain't broke - don't fix it... [COLOR="silver"][SIZE=1]- - - Updated - - -[/SIZE][/COLOR] my take on bearing buddies - if you know how they work you're fine... if you don't and keep adding grease to a sealed system, you're gonna have trouble... realize that there is nowhere for the grease to go, and very little of it evaporates... add too much and you will blow out your rear seal...
