GQ swivel hub - One wet - One dry ???

Post by Hof »

Hi all,

Well I changed my castor bushes today, interesting job, made my own press and all with a 5T bottle jack..

Basically when under the car I noticed one swivel hub is slightly greasy the other dead dry.. From what I remember they were both wet the last time I looked..

Whats the go, suggestions??

Cheers,

Hof

they shouldnt have oil/grease/sludge on them.. they should be dry..
