When my 05 was about 5 years old I had a shop replace the plastic bearings with greasable bearings and had them give me the old plastic bearings which WERE in great shape despite all the warnings...

Since then usually only a few ever take grease and some have had the zerks broken off by the Joyrider suspension upgrade Shock Absorbers. (Thanks for the rough roads State HWY depts!)

So I just hold the Infrared Thermometer around them during our travel stops (along with the Hubs) and no discernable overheating and no failures to date.

And that's because I lost an Entire Wheel with Tire and most of the Brake Assembly once after I gave up the Thermometer Testing when they never had issues for a few years...

Keeping my fingers crossed!
