    Oil bath Hubs

    I would post this on the trailer page but it seems to be many types of trailers on there, so I will ask y'all. I have 396 2007 charger and the oil bath hubs leak a very small amount on all 4 wheels, is this normal and how do you refill the hubs with oil? I did not get a trailer manual when I bought the boat. Thanks for any help

    Mine has the old grease type bearings but I have a 24 flatbed that has the oil bath and only 1 out of 4 leaks a little so I would say they should not leak. Maybe you can find out the trailer mfg website and download a manual

    I don't think they should leak. If they leak then water is propably getting into the wheel bearings. Just my thoughts.
