What kind of lubricant to use on wheel bearing?
Wheel bearing grease seems to get on everything no matter how careful you are. We use Valvoline synthetic chassis and wheel bearing grease because we want the best lubricant protection available. We found that synthetic lubes are better at staying blended and lube even when overheated.
Why do rear wheel bearings get tougher to press apart?
In other words, if you break down on the highway…good luck. Rear wheel bearings get tougher to press apart as they get older. The heat cycling seems to make the bearings adhere to the spindles. When you hear the bearings start to growl, you’ll be 1,000 miles from home with no garage in sight.
Why do rear spindles have to be greased?
The problem is the outer bearing has to be greased and placed in its race before the grease seal is installed. The spindle then has to be pulled through the outer bearing, and the bearing will have to slide onto the thick shoulder of the spindle where it rides.

What are the three mistakes of bearing lubrication?
Listen to the bearing and measure the drop in friction as the grease flows in to the bearing. As the decibel level approaches a minimum value and stabilizes pay close attention. Add single shots. Should the decibel level begin to increase slightly, stop! The job is done. Like any job there is a right way and a wrong way to do things.
What happens when you put too much grease on a car bearing?
The increased friction and pressure from too much grease raises the temperature inside the bearing. Excess heat could decrease the effectiveness of the lubricant causing the oil to separate from the thickener. Not adding enough grease has the same life-shortening effect.
