Bearings are one of the most common parts to be replaced on a trailer. They work hard, so its no wonder!
Bearings will need replacing or adjusting when there is audible noise when spinning the wheel, or when there is slop in the wheel on the stub axle. Many trailer owners and users like to replace their trailer bearings periodically to avoid down-time and failure.

While you may not be fined for towing a trailer between 750kg and 2000kg without brakes, if your vehicle unbraked tow rating is less that the weight of the trailer then you could be fined for unsafe loading.
