[QUOTE="boathauler32, post: 18256, member: 106"] if you're unsure, it doesn't hurt to just go ahead and replace them. they are not very expensive and can turn a good day bad in a hurry. a very easy way to tell is to check the temp of the hubs (just by hand) after a 5 mile run at normal speed grab the hub to see how warm it got. ice cold or so is ideal. if one hub seems to be warmer than the rest that would indicate a problem. I personally grease my trailer once a week and replace the berrings (and both grease seals) once a year reguardless. i also put about 50,000 (yes, i said fifty thousand) miles a year on my trailer, and it gets dipped in salt water up to ten times a day. an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure...
