I just had all four wheels bearings (8 bearings in total, of course) replaced with brand new Timken bearings by the local indy Land Rover garage.
After picking up the vehicle, I drove 8 miles home at around 60mph.
When I got home, I held my hand against the cover that goes on the end of the axle, and it was about as hot as my hand could cope with. This was on all 4 wheels.
Not too hot to hold, but on the limit of being able to hold your hand against it for too long.
Is this normal for brand new wheel bearings, or has the indy Land Rover garage over-tightened of under-greased every single one of them?!?
I also had 4 new brake discs and pads, in case that's relevant.
