Joe, I'm just going to throw this out there. Could you have a bearing problem, since that is something you also just changed ?. I once had a bad wheel bearing and it got so hot I thought I was burning pancakes? I recently read in one of the Mopar magazine that the green bearings were not for street use and there have been many problems with them

well i thought about that also but when i removed the left side it seemed dry except for the seepage from the wheel cylinder, but the right side had some what i thought looked like lube around the shaft, but i thought it was brake fluid leaking from cylinder. as far as the green bearing go, i am hearing about that more and more. i thought those were the hot set up, thanks, joe

By law, all brake fluid has to be compatible




Exactly. Also, all brake fluid is synthetic, so it's a non-issue. DOT 3/4/5.1 is glycol-based, and DOT 5 is silicone-based.


It's Swifty! Swifty, you toad sucker!

You may have a leaky axle seal, but I doubt green wheel bearings caused your brake problems.

Here is everything you ever wanted to know about the "green wheel bearing debate". Note, this is also where the rant in a recent Mopar magazine on green bearings originated:
