This should hold you until it starts salting. But most importantly, get that 
axle nut tight. I got a car that had one back off, and it ate both the inner 
and outer bearing within a couple hundred miles. Not good!!  I had to field 
replace it (bring all the parts with me to replace it) before I could move the 
car, as it was that bad. I think the original seals here were blue, so the red 
one was replaced.
