Hey folks,

Just looking for some experiences here. One of my front wheel bearings has some sticky greasy residue around the 'dust cap' and on the hub (upon which the wheel sits) itself.

Do any of ya have similar seepage and how long has or did the assembly last?

Thanks.

Pop the rotor off and see if there is any play in the hub.

When I greased my bearings I had some seepage, but when all the excess grease slung out the bad it stopped.

No play. I just had the rotor off (that's why I saw the residue on the hub).

You greased the front bearings?

This happened to me before, since the car had lots of mileage i just ended up changing the both hubs, it was time
