Hello,

I have a ford f250 2wd 7lug 5.4 v8. My front spindle is hot can only keep hands on for a few seconds before it starts to burn. I have replaced the wheel bearings and I didn't over tighten them rotor spins freely. Replaced both front calipers and brake pads. Still hot. Is this normal for a 2wd? I know on a 4x4 that means the bearings are bad. Anybody have any ideas thanks for the help

 

How long were you driving before performing this test? If it is after a long drive then there is going to be some heat... With that said it sounds like everything is in working order but if you feel like there is more heat than usual it may be worth having the vehicle inspected, it is possible that one of the new parts installed is faulty.
