I've never had a bearing buddy fail either. You just have to make sure to
check them, and grease them as necessary. Pretty simple stuff.

Failed? What happened?
Just curious, I have Bearing Buddies on a couple of pretty old

They fall off on rough highways.- Hide quoted text -

I have used them for a long time. May I speculate that it might not
have been the highway, but the heat and pressure of having taken in
moisture? If they are not kept pumped up, they can still take in
moisture. I have had no problems with them, ever..

Again, thanks to all for your advice. I appreciate it.
