grumbleweed Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 How hot should the wheel bearing get- i have adjusted mine as there was some play in the front ones, and after a drive, it is hot to touch. I didn't check how hot it was before i adjusted them. They are now well greased- should i worry? It isn't too hot to keep your finger on it, but hot nonetheless!! I did them up as it says until it starts to bind, then undid it a bit. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BogMonster Posted May 25, 2009 Share Posted May 25, 2009 How quickly is it getting hot? Warm after a long drive I wouldn't be too worried about, hot after a couple of miles would suggest it is too tight. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Much more confident that it is ok now!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Any ideas as to whats happening...and what i should do? cheers Adi Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
