My new used trailer has buddy bearings. On one tire, there is a lot of

pull them. What do I look for in terms of wear or failure? Do I spin the
wheel jacked up before pulling and listen for growl? Is the race pressed
into the wheel? Onto the spindle? I've done a lot of things mechanical,
but this is new. And what about the buddy bearings? I've heard both ways
on those.

Bearing Buddies are junk. Remove them, and put on normal bearing Caps.
All Bearing Buddies do is allow the grease to be pushed out the inward
side of the axle by the Bearing Buddies when you overload them too
much. I've seen this happen repeatedly.
Pack the bearings by hand, and you will not have this happen
again....that is, after you replace the inner seals on your axles that
have been blown out by over packing the bearings using the
aforementioned " Bearing Buddies".
Only if you're a complete moron that can't grasp the instructions. Oh,
wait, I forgot who I was replying to. They probably aren't the best
choice for you.

The above post coming from a Lake Lanier idiot who doesn't have, or
never owned a trailer.
Go back to Rainbow Country and talk up your home-made swill.You know
more about that than you do about trailers, asswipe Dwarf Army Grunt.

There's no reason to believe Loogy has a boat or boats on Lanier.
