It's great weather today so I went for a 20 to 30 mile drive. �The terrain was basicly all flat with maybe a few stop signs along the way. �just me and the Jeep, not pulling anything heavy or riding the brakes.
Once I got home I walked around smelling and looking for leaks. �I discovered that the hub cover on the rear drivers side felt hot, not to hot to touch but hot enough that i'm wondering. �The hub on the passanger side was nice and cool.
I did a brake rebuilt / replacement on that axle, as well as shims etc. �I didn't pull the axle or replace the bearing, during the rebuild but I'm worried about that bearing now.
any thoughts?

About 1/2 an hour after I got home I found my infrared thermometer, so even with that much cooling the drivers side hub is 99 degrees and the passanger side is 61
