We may receive a commission on purchases made from links. Before we dive into the frequency with which you should grease wheel bearings, we should note that not all wheel bearings need to be greased.

Grease both the fittings on the fifth wheel and the top plate. Clean the top surface of the plate first, then distribute grease all around. Your truck’s chassis is a complicated system of moving parts ...

Several factors influence the quantity of grease that would go into a bearing at the selected interval. Critical factors include: Design of the bearing (plain, roller, ball or spherical roller). Type ...

Rolling-element bearings are used for the precise guidance of moving parts. Frictional losses are extremely small because the bearings rest on rolling elements, enabling very heavy loads to be ...
