This has bugged me for a long time. The first time I took my front tires off my 05 Corolla I noticed a thin white colored paste of some sort between the where the wheel touches the rotor.
Have any Toyota owners noticed this? Is this just regular automotive grease to prevent the wheel from seizing to the rotor? Looks like the factory applied grease to the contact points of the wheel before they went on the car.
I washed it off when I rotated my tires a few years back. The front tires are always seized to the rotor, even the first time I tried to take them off.
Does anyone put anything on the wheel to prevent it from seizing to the rotor?
