I agree with all the previous posters about not over doing the greasing and advantages of hand loading the bearings, my 08 Cougar had soaked linings from day one.

Has anyone looked at those cheap Chinese seals? Maybe part of the problem is the seals themselves? Are there any USA made seals of better quality?
Since the design of those bearing assemblies require a bit of "free play" when tightened down, those cheap deals can't seal properly when there is a bit of axial play.
