RE: [RC] RE:Could have been a bad accident - betndez
I do grease the ball for my gooseneck, I also wipe away
the old dirty grease first, then apply fresh grease. Question: How
often should one replace the ball just to be on the safe side. I know
there can be metal fatigue or perhaps flaws that aren't apparent to the
naked eye. The thought of that ball breaking while towing that heavy
trailer fully loaded is enough to give one
nightmares.

There is controversy about grease on trailer
ball. Some authorities say the sand and grit that gets on the ball,
sticks to the grease and wears the ball faster. Others say grease
it. Take your pick, but do inspect.
