Trailer trouble

[Gone fishin]

One of my wheels are making this awful sound when traveling at low speed. It is equipped with cool hubs but
after traveling to the lake they are barely warm to the touch. Could this possibly be a bearing going bad or
something else.

What kind of sound??? Growling noise? Is there any play in it? BBass is the trailer man.

Put your hand at the top of the tire and rock it back and forth by pushing it in and out. Have a knock in it?

Hard to say without hearing it but 99 % of the time, its a bearing or race. May need to get it replaced ASAP! If it knocks a bit, you could tighten the nut up on the spindle. Thats rare tough.

Let me know.

Have been told it could also be the brakes but it doesnt sound like brake pads rubbing. Gonna jack it up and
spin the wheel to see if I can tell anything. The noise sounds more like metal grinding. Will post what I come up
with.

You never mentioned you had brakes in your post. Yes, it can be the brakes rubbing.

Ok jacked it up and spun the wheel and its the brake caliper. the pads look good, where is a good place to have it looked
at.

Caliper stuck? Send me a pic and I'll tell you exactly what it is. ANY garage that works on brakes can look at it. PM sent
