Why It Matters

Wheel bearings and hub internals are vital to trailer performance and safety. Contaminants like dirt, water, salt, or sand can infiltrate exposed hubs, accelerating wear, causing rust, or damaging seals. A quality dust cap helps:

1. Keep debris out

2. Retain lubrication

3. Maintain bearing integrity

4. Assist in preventing costly repairs or failures

Choosing a premium, well-fitting option such as this Lippert kit ensures that your trailer continues to roll smoothly — especially when traversing rugged roads or weather-exposed terrain.

Usage & Tips

• Before pressing in, clean the hub bore and ensure it’s free of burrs or corrosion so the dust cap seats flush.

• Grease bearings appropriately before sealing; avoid overfilling so the cap doesn’t interfere with bearing clearance.

• Remove and inspect the dust caps periodically (e.g. every 10,000–12,000 miles) for signs of damage, corrosion, or looseness.

• If the plug becomes damaged or cracked, replace it immediately to preserve the seal.

Compatibility Reminder

While this Lippert dust cap is built for 5,200 to 6,000 lb axle setups, always verify your hub’s bore diameter and axle specifications before ordering to ensure perfect fitment. If there’s any uncertainty or you find a slight mismatch, reach out to us — we’re glad to help you confirm.
