Timken bearing

[QX1]

Timken wheelbearing gives burning rubber smell, abd when touch the brake disc it is hotter than others! it is rear wheel bearing. And noticed, after driving a while center part of wheel is dry while rest of the wheel is moisture? is it bearing or disc issue? i would like pro mechanic comment on it? the other side i brought in timken box was ntn bearing made in china. no problem.

I would make sure you don’t have a brake caliper problem. You did mention a disc that is warmer than the others and that is a symptom of pads dragging.

If you have run it hot enough you have cooked the grease and the bearing will fail early.

Did the new bearing change the brake disc runout?

I had this happen and it ended up that the caliper bracket had a br that wasn’t tightening to spec. I replaced the bracket and bolts and it went back to normal.
