Curious if any of you racers make it a habit to replace the grease in new bearings (rear in particular) with a high-temp grease like Redline? I know the Spec Miata guys always repack at least their front sealed bearings with a high-temp grease, but their bearings seem to be prone to failure. Our car is low HP, so I doubt we'd see brake temps high enough to cause the wheel bearing grease to break down, but it can't hurt to ask, right?
I'm intending to do the fronts with high temp grease, but tempted to leave the rears as-is, especially since the right rear has already been done. |
