    Didn't Grease Hub bearings..........

    I just replaced my hub bearings last weekend. Was a pretty straight forward job but I have just realized that I didn't grease the bearings before installation. The car has 235k on it now and I just put new tires on it. I wonder how this will afffect the life of the hub and bearing. I would like to see another 30 or 40k miles out of this car. Anyone have any opinions?

    Thanks in advance,
    Eric

    they're sealed bearings, should have grease inside them.

      as stated, they are sealed units, greased when manufactored. there is nothing for you to grease.
