Troubleshooting

Trailer wobble at speed

Ensure tyre is correctly inflated to 90psi. Check that all wheel nuts are securely tightened. Verify the hitch is correctly fitted to the towball and drawbar.

Wheel bearing noise

Although sealed, inspect bearings for damage. If noise persists, the hub assembly may need replacement.

Tyre wear is uneven

Check wheel alignment and ensure the trailer is not overloaded. Verify that the tyre is balanced.

Hitch feels loose

Ensure the hitch clamp is correctly adjusted and tightened onto the towball. Check the fixing bolts securing the hitch to the trailer's drawbar are secure.

Pros and Cons

Pros

  • All components are E-marked and road legal.
  • High-speed rating up to 81mph (130kph).
  • Sealed bearings reduce maintenance requirements.
  • Durable construction with heavy-duty steel components.
  • Complete kit simplifies trailer upgrades or repairs.

Cons

  • Specific tyre size (4.00x8) may not fit all trailers.
  • Requires confirmation of compatibility with existing trailer frame and hitch receiver.
  • Instructions for assembly may need to be sourced separately.
  • No spare tyre is included in the kit.

Setup, Compatibility & Care

Setup: Installation involves mounting the stub axles to the trailer frame, attaching the hubs with the integrated sealed bearings, fitting the wheels (tyre already mounted on the rim), and securing the hitch to the trailer's drawbar. Ensure all bolts are tightened to the manufacturer's recommended torque specifications. The hitch is designed to fit over a standard 50mm box section.

Compatibility: This kit is designed for trailers with a 50mm box section drawbar and a standard 50mm towball. The wheel hubs have a 4-stud pattern with a 100mm PCD and a 60mm centre hole. The stub axles are 35x35mm square. It is crucial to verify these dimensions match your trailer's existing specifications before purchase.

Care: The sealed bearings are maintenance-free and do not require greasing. Regularly inspect the tyre for wear, damage, and proper inflation (up to 90psi recommended for maximum load). Check the hitch and all fixings for tightness before each use. Clean components with a damp cloth as needed; avoid abrasive cleaners.
