Thanks to all of you for the timely advice.
I plan to repack all of my wheel bearings this week. Hopefully, if I can jack up the frame and take the weight off my tires, I will also be able to get some grease in the Equa-Flex Zerks. After reading the instructions from the MOR/Ride web site, I don't think I have the equipment necessary to replace the bushings, I don't have the jack stands to hold up the frame for one thing and I'm not sure if my 4 ton bottle jacks will be adequate to jack up the trailer by the frame. So I will probably try and get the work done after I reach South Carolina. I'll order the kit from MOR/Ride and have it ready.
It would be nice if Heartland would publish an itemized maintenance schedule for each new trailer. Perhaps they do now. My BH is 3 years old and Heartland was only 3 years old when I bought it. They have come a long way since then. A 2011 Big Country pulled in next to me this afternoon. Boy is that one beautiful trailer with that Gray fiber glass outside and the Cherry trim inside. I wish I had stock in Heartland. Ha!
