Turbo Lube Hubs Oil Bath Lubrication Simple is best. Especially when it comes to wheel bearing maintenance. That’s why Tie Down has developed Turbo Lube, the hub bearing lubrication system that provides continuous protection. Turbo Lube oil bath lubricating system rotates individual roller bearings over four times through oil for each wheel revolution keeping your hub and bearings cooler, reducing wear and friction, and actually increasing tow vehicle mileage.
