The right side of my bearing grease is kind of grayish milky looking; instead of the usual black/dark grease. Is this mean that water had mixed in with the grease? <br /> The bearing seems to be normal, wheel has no shake, and no noise when turned. Shall I go ahead clean and repack with nu grease and all new bearing kit as well? Thanks!

Yes, yes & yes. You have caught the problem early, before the sh*t hits the fan.<br /><br />Don't forget new seals.

be sure to put the rear(inside of the wheel) seal in the right way. this is why annaul inspections are so important. find it now not on the side of the interstate.
