Choose stainless over chrome any time your trailer is regularly exposed to saltwater, brackish water, or high-humidity coastal conditions — the stainless barrel resists pitting and rust significantly longer than chrome. Always measure your hub bore carefully before ordering, as several Bearing Buddy sizes are very close together in this range.
