Six of one, half dozen of the other.

I've had both of them, Fulton and Bearing Buddies. I can't tell the
difference except for the packaging. I've never had a problem with
either.

I suspect they are made by the same company and marketed seperate.
I've gone over them, compared side-by-each, measured and even took
both apart - there is no difference.

Just don't overfill them.


OK, another question:P

If I buy and install them, I'll have to grease them using a marine grease.
Now, I've read that different greases should not be mixed. Does this mean
that I need to track down the specific grease currently in the new trailer
hubs and match it, or will the addition of *any* marine grease work?
