On the return trip of my trailer's maiden voyage while stopping to stretch our legs, I noticed some grease splattered on the inside back of one of the wheels. Never having had a trailer before, I don't know if this is normal for a freshly-packed bearing or not. It was packed professionally the first time by a local RV/trailer shop since I didn't trust myself to do it. At the advice of the shop guy, I also added some more via a grease gun till I could just see it starting to come squishing to the front. It's a Flexiride torsion axle with a zirc (sp?) fitting. It's hard to say how much was found splattered on the inside of the wheel, maybe a teaspoon or two? We wiped it off before heading down the road again with about 2 hours of freeway driving to go to get home. We stopped for gas about an hour later and no additional grease was found (although in the pic you can see a bit in the top background) and my husband said it felt cool. Here's a pic of the backside of the wheel with an arrow pointing where the grease appears to have come from:
Is this normal and to be expected or do I have a possible problem? Thanks for any info!
