Frequently Asked Questions
Q: What is the difference between SU S2362 and SU S2362-A?
A: SU S2362 is the older generation load wheel with a steel hub. SU S2362-A features the Velocity(TM) variant with advanced aluminum hub and HeatSink(TM) technology for superior heat dissipation. Both fit the same 2.047 inch bearing bore on compatible Superior axles. SU S2362-A runs cooler and lasts longer under heavy continuous-duty loads.
Q: Does SU S2362 come with greaseable or sealed bearings?
A: SU S2362 is supplied with precision bearings and is available in both greaseable and non-greaseable configurations. Verify your configuration before ordering. If greaseable, use food-grade NLGI Grade 2 bearing grease every 500 hours or quarterly. If sealed, no field lubrication is required.
Q: What is the outside diameter and tread width of SU S2362?
A: SU S2362 is 5-inch diameter with a polyurethane tread bonded to the hub. Tread width varies by configuration. The bearing bore diameter is 2.047 inches. Verify exact tread width and specifications against your truck manual or current wheel before ordering to ensure fitment.
Q: Can I upgrade from SU S2362 steel hub to SU S2362-A aluminum Velocity(TM) hub?
A: Yes, if both assemblies use the same 2.047 inch bearing bore and axle configuration. The SU S2362-A Velocity(TM) hub is a direct bolt-on replacement that offers better heat dissipation and longer service life under heavy loads. You do not need to modify your axle or truck frame.
Q: What causes the polyurethane tread to separate from the hub on SU S2362?
A: Tread separation results from repeated impact on hard concrete, extreme heat buildup (especially with steel hubs under continuous duty), or moisture infiltration at the bond line. Inspect the bond line regularly for cracks or delamination. If separation is visible, replace the wheel immediately; continued use will cause sudden wheel failure and loss of load.
