Found one hub significantly hot than the other 3. Back of the castle nuts one notch, rechecked in 50 miles. No difference in temp. I thought i had them all the same, but the temp was telling different. The rest of the trip went without any other mechanical difficulty.

Hard to tell if the hubs are hot when the ambient temperature is 115! It's a Yuma thing. Lol
