I have to admit, I'm completely puzzled as to how buying or replacing anything could be as easy as dripping/spraying something into the bearings every so often.
I see where the confusion is I was replying in my case point of view because the bearings are already rusty (but still work) while also letting others know you can replace them easily if needed.

I have a floor attachment. I flip it upside down and attach it to a 4 wheel furniture dolly with a few bungee cords.
This is going to be my approach in the Spring. Most of those on Amazon are chineseses and copies of each otber. You can always tell by the "manufaturer" name and their description/instructions run through Google translate ?

Undetstood but I don't need to spend a boat load of money on something so simple. It will do the job at hand.

No way am I going to turn on the outside water, try to straighten out a frozen hose then spray water that'll turn my driveway and sidewalk that neighbors use into a skating rink. Then, reverse the process and spread salt on the driveway and sidewalk.
I go thru the car wash and accomplish the same thing and keep the water there.

Thanks for everyone's comments. I ordered the one that I posted from Amazon. I wash my truck in my garage, which I have cold/hot water and floor drains. I just up the heat to make for more pleasant experience. :)

Appreciate the feedback. Agreed and looking for a salt rinse for the truck's undercarrage.
I was trying to get my undercarriage cleaned up after driving on some roads in Creede CO this past summer after the count treated the roads with a magnesium chloride mix in order to keep dust down on the roads. After researching, I eventually bought a 3000 psi Greenworks electric pressure washer when it was on sale at Costco. It seems that unless U want a gas pressure washer, U need to get up around 3000 psi if U go electric if U want good results for heavier duty work.

I have a gas PW but will be cleaning in my garage and don't want the fumes. My garage is heated and I really don't want to open the OH door.

I used a similar model on my new 2024 before getting rustproofing applied. The water jets caused the stick on heat shields around the cats to come off... but it was clean. ? Another fun note, if you flip the jets upside down to clean the driveway, the water pressure makes it want to take flight! ?

My truck is Krown rust proofed and will be using the undercarriage cleaner sparingly as to not remove much of the coating.

The company that did mine was NHOU, they suggested no undercarriage washes unless just before a reapplication...

Krown said it was okay to do periodic undercarriage washes, just use water. My PW is only 1850psi and doubt that would have any effect on the undercoating since the product is to displace water. Just giving a rinse now and then.
