Friend bought new hitchhiker. First trip going down I-5 not far from home he was smoking big time. No lube in the never lube axle on one side. So how did it get to Oregon from the factory. All 4 were changed. Chevman
Probably magic. Not having grease is one thing. Not having the inner race is completely different. The entire wheel would be wobbling or leaning in, and the inner edge of the drum would grind against the backing plate. Most likely it would cause the brake assembly to grenade. That would probably happen between the factory door and storage lot.
