Axis Wakeboard Boat Forum

So got home from a five hour drive with boat today and noticed wheel bearing grease all over the side of my boat and my front wheel on dual axle trailer (2014 A24) had grease all over the wheel and tire. Took the center cap off of the wheel (Rockstar2s I believe) and the cover that holds the grease into the bearing area had fallen out and was just bouncing around in there (didn't loose it thanks to those Rockstar center cover that hides the lugs)! Grease is thinner than usual, and smells a bit burnt. All other wheels look fine.

Anyone experienced something like this? I've inspected the disc brakes on all wheels and the surrounding areas and things seem fine. All three other wheels seem completely normal. I suppose I will tap that bearing cover back on with a mallet and repack with grease, and see how things go?

Thanks for any input. Not sure what to think about this one. I did have to brake hard a few times on that long drive home when encountering unexpected traffic and a moron on a motorcycle cutting in-front of me on the hwy.

You'll want to give UFP a call. I had the same happen on a long trip to the middle of no where. I repacked mine with regular trailer grease and put a regular grease cap back on to get home. UFP will be able to send you the replacement parts you need. It's a hybrid grease/oil that they use.
