my gq had problems with a front wheel bearing being loose and the nuts welding themsleves to the hub.

was away from home and after expensive repiar bill drove 300k back to sydney and found the new bearing was loose. After mate retightened it im finding that the hub is heating up a lot to the point u cant touch it after driving around 15ks.

Has anyone else experienced anything similar? any ideas what could be wrong?

Thanks

too much grease will also cause the hub to heat up too
