FAQS
How often should I check my trailer’s brake parts for wear and tear?
Proper brake maintenance is essential for your trailer’s safety. It’s recommended to inspect the brakes every 6,000 miles or after a major trip, but if you frequently haul heavy loads, more frequent checks are necessary. Regularly inspect the brake pads, shoes, and fluid to ensure optimal performance. Replacing worn parts is simple, and Big Tex Trailer World Houston offers a wide range of brake assemblies and components to keep your trailer in top shape.
What’s the best way to maintain my trailer’s tires and wheels?
Proper tire maintenance is key to your trailer’s safety and performance. Always keep them inflated to the manufacturer’s recommended pressure, typically between 50-80 psi based on the load. Regularly check for damage such as cuts, punctures, or cracks, and rotate the tires to promote even wear. Don’t forget to inspect the wheel bearings for smooth operation. If you need replacements, we offer a wide selection of tires and wheels designed for all conditions, including rugged off-road terrain.
How can I prevent rust and corrosion on my trailer parts, especially during Houston’s rainy season?
Houston’s humid, subtropical climate can cause rust and corrosion on trailer components. To safeguard your trailer, make sure to wash and dry it regularly, particularly after exposure to water, and apply rust-resistant coatings to metal parts. Consider using corrosion-resistant materials like stainless steel or galvanized components, which are available at Big Tex Trailer World Houston. We also offer high-quality locks and hitch covers to protect your trailer’s most vulnerable parts during wet conditions in Southeast Texas.
How do I know when it’s time to replace the suspension system on my trailer?
The suspension system of your trailer is crucial for a smooth ride and stability. If you notice rough handling, excessive bouncing, or strange noises while driving, it may be time to replace the suspension. Regularly inspect the springs, shock absorbers, and other components for wear or damage to keep it in top condition. Our company offers suspension systems designed to fit a variety of trailers.
What parts should I keep on hand for common breakdowns?
Common items to have include fuses, light bulbs, a ball mount, spare tire, and basic brake components. It’s also wise to carry a jack, hitch lock, and extra wheel bearings. Big Tex Trailer World Houston has you covered for both common and hard-to-find parts. If we don’t have it in stock, we can quickly source it from one of our nationwide locations.
How does Houston’s climate impact my trailer’s parts?
Houston’s humid subtropical climate, with its tropical influences, can take a toll on your trailer parts over time. With local average August temperatures reaching 95 degrees Fahrenheit, the intense heat accelerates the wear and tear of rubber and plastic components such as tires and seals. The city’s annual rainfall of 49.77 inches, along with frequent showers, especially during the monsoon season from May to October, can lead to rust and corrosion on metal parts like axles, brakes, and suspension systems. To protect your trailer, consider using corrosion-resistant materials and performing regular inspections and maintenance. At Big Tex Trailer World Houston, we provide high-quality, weather-resistant trailer parts, including Dexter Axles, brake assemblies, and durable tires, to help keep your trailer in top condition, no matter the climate.
When should I replace my trailer’s axles, and what should I look for?
Axles should be replaced if they show signs of bending, cracking, or wear due to excessive load. Symptoms of axle problems include uneven tire wear, poor handling, or the trailer pulling to one side. It’s important to regularly inspect axles for visible damage and listen for any unusual sounds while driving. We offer Dexter Axles and other high-quality axle parts for all trailer types, ensuring you get the right replacement to maintain your trailer’s safety and performance.
