Which sign points to a leaking hub oil seal or wheel bearing problem?
- A.Even tread wear across both dual tires
- B.Oil splattered on the inside of the wheel and around the hub
- C.A hub temperature that feels cool after driving
- D.Valve caps missing from both stems
Correct answer
B. Oil splattered on the inside of the wheel and around the hub
Why
Oil thrown around the inside of the wheel usually means the hub seal is leaking and lubricant is being lost. Left alone, the bearing can overheat and the wheel assembly can fail.
