Wheel Bearing Grease Brown and Oily 200 1985

posted by  someone claiming to be Mike on  Sat Jan 22 14:08 CST 2005 [RELATED]

I have a 1985 245DL with 145k miles. Changed wheel bearing grease two years ago, drove about 10k miles since changing wheel bearing grease.

Over the past 2 weeks, I've noticed a shaky feeling when I hit the brakes. Today, I heard a noise that sounded like a flat tire on my right front wheel. The tire was fine. I noticed that the wheel bearing cap was missing (though hub cap present). White smoke was going above the caliper. The wheel bearing grease was brown and oily. No leaks were present anywhere. The brake pads and calipers were ok. The bearing had no scratches on the races, but the bearings did not move very easily.

What is the nature of this problem?
