Grease Bump In Forehead Can Mixing Different Wheel Bearing Grease Into A Bearing Cause It To Fail?

Can mixing different wheel bearing grease into a bearing cause it to fail? - grease bump in forehead

Timken bearings came with a little fat, but does not seem to be completely filled. I was told not to assume that you are completely full. This is a Yukon in 2003, the 80k failed!

It would be a blow to failure?

Well, when you are in the United States, you do not have the taper bearings and especially American-style outter tapperd GMC Yukon 4x4 or 4x2 assy center and can not be maintained or diassembled Repace and bearing is. the center must be replaced by anything.
If you simply press the wheel without damageing is worn suspension or the tires and the tire and the center on a 80k mileage center is the normal wear

Well, some of the previous answers wrong.
Mixed types of fat can be condemned to failure the camp, actually lead to it may not fat. Mixing a fat and sodium are liquefied grease based on lithium-based grease and fail. Grease based on aluminum is the most common now. I prefer a thick high temperature disc brake. Here you will find the number of drop in temperature in the container. In the past I have supported molybdenum grease, because there are higher pressures and temperatures used. As a specialist in lubricants to improve the information. I've told you what I know is actually
The best rule is "Do not mix greases" Clean all the old grease from the time you can wash, dry, inspect the rollers discoloration or marks. Or if you know exactly what type of fat in the appropriate landing alone.

Tahoe, Yukon beariing use of sealed assemblies. Replacement Hub is the right selection. The pressure should not be repaired.

Mixture of fat will not be defeated, a pothole in the vicinity, but it is common for heart failure sets 80-100K
ago when a on a 4-wheel drive, do not add cubes [grass]
Add the fat in a 2-wheel motor [except for a number of hub]
if a rear bearing so that the rollers are covered with a thick layer of fat, not too thick

No, even though the fat is classified for high-speed, temperature, pressure and mixing with the desire of his heart. However, too much fat does not allow for the expansion and to quickly reach the joints.
Depending on the comb. More bearing failure is the lack of grease or fat, which is dried, and lubrication lost properties. Too high speed bearing failure may result in overheating.

A strike would not be an error. The lack of lubricant would be appropriate.
