Hey guys,
Just purchased this 1989 GQ 4.2

Recently have replaced right front wheel bearings all the way to the diff/ axle seal as they were leaking. When I drove the car afterwards I heard what I thought was the break pads grabbing, felt the hubs and rotors and the right hub was hot, left side not so bad (brake disks obviously hot).

I have since backed off the bearing lock nut and left play in it before tightening, still hot, then torqued as normal with no play as per manual.

Replaced both left and right front brake callipers, brake master cylinder and hoses as I felt they were failing.

Just went for a drive and still, the right hand side hub is much warmer than the left, not too hot to touch but warm. The left hub has not yet been done by myself and I know the hub has some play in it.

Is it normal for the hubs to get hot in general?

Thanks in advance for any advice!
