Towing
Trailer hub bearings need clean grease and correct adjustment. A noisy hub or greasy tire face is a roadside failure warning — service before the trip, not after the smoke.
We stock CURT towing gear for this job, with free shipping anywhere in Canada.

Service cues
Humming that changes with speed, heat on one hub, or grease flung onto the wheel point at bearings. Repack or replace as a pair when wear is obvious.
Habits
Use grease rated for trailer bearings. Do not mix incompatible greases without cleaning first. After Canadian storage, spin and listen before the first highway miles.
