Which Grease for Curt C17499 TruTrack Weight Distribution System
Question:
What is the best grease to use on the Curt Tru-track weight distrubution hitch, model 17499. I have a boat and use a top grade marine water grease on the trailer bearings. Can I use the same grease? Thanks

Expert Reply:
A quality wheel bearing grease like # L11465 or the bearing grease you're already using would work just fine. You'll want to grease the trunnions by using the grease zerk and also brush some grease on the ball bearings above the trunnion as shown in the provided diagram.
