Default Heat at front axel hubs

196 Ram 2500 4X4
Replaced drivers side hub and u joint. I notice now that here is more heat when touching the hub on this side than the passengers side. Not terribly hot, I can touch it with no burn. It is different though.

I replaced most of the steering gear too. What is the recommended alignment settings for toe in/out? I set it at zero for now.

Thanks in advance.

I think specs are published in various places on the net.

The new bearing being a bit warmer doesn't surprise me, but, make sure it isn't the caliper hanging up.
