Thread: Fitted new wheel bearings, 4 weeks & ~1k km later this....

Fitted new front hubs / bearings a month ago, genuine Timkin ones. My15 D4 with 157k km, noisy ones were originals. Did both as couldn't distinguish which one was noisy.

Whilst changing the fuel filter earlier I noticed an explosion of grease (dark green / black) all over the inside of the drivers side wheel, caliper etc. Passener side has only about 10% of the same mess.

Bearings aren't noisy and if I hadn't been under there for the fuel filter I'd have not noticed it.

Best guess is it seems to be coming from the bottom of the boot / gaiter - but I can't see any splits and not sure what it is.

Any ideas / suggestions?



Thanks.

Looks like a split C.V. boot.
