Re: Grease slinging out of hub 1984 k10

Gear oil will not get that far. If an axle seal failed the gear oil would leak out at the open knuckle (by the axle shaft u-joint)
I have seen it. There could be a few reasons these come to mind off the top of my head:
wrong grease used
wheel bearings too tight
brakes dragging
riding the brakes down a long incline
