Maintenance on Superglide

I had my Superglide apart to clean it all up so I can use Slip plate on it and when I went to grease up my roller I found it had some movement side to side. I called Pullrite and she asked what it was doing and said I would be wise to get a new one. It is on it's way. Check and see if yours has any play as a precaution.

It's part # C2 in your manual. You have to take the turntable way tubes out to get at it. It should be taken out and cleaned up and relubed every year I would imagine. My hitch is 4 yrs old and the guy that owned it before me apparently did not believe in yearly maintenance. The part is $44 I think she said and no mine was not covered by warranty.

That's the part. I don't think it should have any wobble in it like mine did. Almost like the needle bearings were starting to wear.

Got the new part from Pullrite. Cost was $44 to Canada. New part does not have bearings to wear out. It is made of nylon or something similar. Will put it on on the weekend. Great service.
