Common Concerns Answered
What if my spindle isn't a perfect match for the included bearings?
While this kit is designed for standard 1-3/8" - 1-1/16" tapered spindles, rare instances of imperfect spindle dimensions may necessitate sourcing separate bearings or seals. However, for properly sized spindles, the included components ensure a correct fit.
Can premature bearing failure occur?
Premature bearing failure is typically associated with improper installation, such as incorrect torque settings, or consistent trailer overloading beyond the 1750 lb capacity. Adhering to correct installation procedures and respecting weight limits will ensure longevity.
Does this hub kit include integrated brakes?
No, this C.E. Smith Trailer Hub Kit is designed as a non-braked hub assembly. If your trailer requires braking capabilities, a separate brake system will need to be purchased and installed.
