Re: [Chrysler300] Zurk the rear bearings?

I always figured that if the front bearings need to be serviced why not the rear. They go every place the fronts go an travel the same speed. Once in a while the rear bearings actually go faster than the fronts on MOPARS. Gary Barker

Evidently, the rear wheel bearings are intended to be greased when they are installed, and then not serviced again until the axles get pulled and/or rear seals replaced. My '61 is the same way. Why not just have the rear axle lube service the bearings? I don't know, except to say that maybe it is not heavy enough? Zerk fittings would work, but the risk to blowing the seal with a grease gun is considerable.
