Should I be concerned?
I put a new unit bearing on back in August, since then the ball joints went out. I know I should have done them at the same time. So tonight I pull it apart to find the unit bearing I put in spewing grease out of it, this assy only has about 5k since I installed it and I didn't buy the cheapest one I could find either.
They are the precision brand and ran about $260. each. Should I return these and buy a different brand? What do you guys recomend? How do I post pics on the mobile version of the board?

Those of us that routinely pump grease into our hubs have this happen all the time. We don't have to replace them as a result.
Wipe it off, pump some more in, and press on. Mobil 1 synthetic grease is a good one to use.
Don't forget to grease those needle bearings, too, while you're at it.

You can grease things that don't have a zerk. It's not required.
Pull the ABS sensor.
Here's some reading for you that may save you some money:

Thanks for the info. I went ahead and got it replaced anyways from Kragen. I think it was an off brand put in a precision box, the new one is a Moog, hopefully it will be better and I will Grease them like your write up.
Is the amount of grease that comes on the spindle bearing enough or should I add more to it?
