Really hot rear hubs/discs
Hi all.
I am haveing real problems curing an intermittant problem of really hot rear hubs/discs on my 03 D5
The problem apparently started when i replace some badly worn rear pads,discs and shoes, every so often the hub/disc area would get really hot, once it was smoking.
I thought that it must be a sticking caliper so replaced it (with a parts gateway part) still no joy.
Stripped caliper down again cleaned and copper greased still no cure.
Thought i should check out the handbrake shoes for sticking but all seems to be in order, cleaned and re copper greased.
Could it be the hub bearings? they are not noisey and appear to spin freely, they wouldnt be intermittant ayway.... would they?
Getting at my wits end now and could really do with some advice.
Thanks in advance
