Having had my coach for 3+ years and not knowing the condition of the bearings I need to have them inspected and insure they are good to go. That being said, I spoke with one of the GMC suppliers / service centers today. I asked if they inspected my wheel bearings and found they needed to be repaired or replaced would they add the zerk grease fittings. Their answer was a definitive NO. Their reasoning was that that there is a tendency for owners to over grease the bearings resulting in grease being thrown all over making a terrible mess.
What are the pros and cons of adding zeks to the wheel bearings? And does the group favor wheel bearings with or without the zerks?

Thanks for you thoughts and comments
