Thanks again for the information. I cleaned the hub pretty well with mineral spirits during the rebuild (installed new rotors so I had the hub broken down completely). I guess I may have some contamination from the moly grease. If the grease is still intact and has not turned black I will just keep on driving.

Thanks again,
