hey all i have gq 91 mod lwb, the front hub on the drivers side gets heaps hot, even when its not locked in , but the one on the passenger side stays cold?

like the drivers side one gets that hot you cant even touch it to lock it in or to unlock it,

any help would b great if some one knows what this problem mite be or if you have had it be for,


cheers pj

Check for dragging brakes, and make sure the bearings arent too tight.

grab the top of the tyre from the inside edge and rock it like a mad man listen and feel for clicks, as said wheel bearings probably frucked.

i agree check bearings and brakes, gq are fairly common for siezing pistons, but mainly on the rear,

do you find the truck pulling to the right while driving?

thanks all.

um im not to sure about pulling to the right it pulls more to the left,

ill check all the grease and all that, and see,

but at around 60-80kph it has a real bad wobble, ide say that could be the bearings plus the heat in the drivers side, could be up for new bearings in the front,

ill flex it up tomorrow and see

thanks heaps for every ones help.

cheers pj
