Rear Hub

I've got a rear drum thats running hot. <br><br>I just had a complete brake job (hubs, rotors, shoes, pads, cylinders, and the rear wheel bearings on one wheel).<br><br>The brakes seem to be adjusted properly and I've had it back to the shop twice, where they did replace the drum that was running hot. Its still not fixed. <br><br>When I put the ir temp gauge to it I find its twice as hot as the other side. One side runs about 125-150 and the other around 250-300 degrees. (Not braking but coasting to a stop)<br><br>Could it be the wheel bearing causing this?<br><br>I'm taking it back to the shop tomorrow but would appreciate any input.

Re:Rear Hub

Which side got the new bearings and why? It sounds like you have dragging brake shoes. Doesnt take much.
