Johnny Reb Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 I have no dust caps on the rear axles, like the front. Are they gone or were never there??? Does the hubcap for that??? Quote
Merle Coggins Posted May 4, 2020 Report Posted May 4, 2020 There are no dust caps for the rear axle like up front. The caps on the front hubs retain the bearing grease and keep the nasties out. At the rear the bearings and grease are back behind the brakes and protected by seals. The exposed hub retaining nut doesn't need any protection. The hub caps/wheel covers just cover it up to make it look pretty. Quote
