In the event that bearings have been affected, we make provision for replacement of these bearings done, free of charge. Reimbursement would be covered under the manufacturer’s warranty program. For axles that have been in operation on a moving trailer and experience vibration. The axle spindle nuts and the bearings will be inspected and if require replacement will be done, free of charge.
