Basically I took my wheels off other day to put steelies on..1st time since I bought em and had em put on. So in other words I never paid attention till I took em off, but my front hubs have the metal dust cap, but my rears don't. And the nut with the pin going through, has some corrosion. So I was wondering if this is normal? Cause I would like to address it when I put my wheels back on again.

Thanks for any info

Rears do not have caps. You can buy the front caps and apply a thick layer of taillight sealant to hold them in in the rear, they're slightly smaller in diameter than the hub, but they're not required.

Cool...I appreciate the answers. I was wondering if the shop that recently did my brakes, and mounted my wheels in the past had forgot em. Good to have things cleared up
