Hot hubs

Since I've been having vibration issue's, I've been trying to track down the source. I think my rotors are warped because of slight jerking when coming to a stop, but the don't seem to get hot, so I think that is only coming into play under braking. I did notice that my auto hubs are hot though and in a previous post, I was told to re-grease them because they can sometimes cause vibration. If they're getting hot, would a simple re-grease be enough or is something else at play here?

Hate to ask but how hot is hot? Easiest way is to simply take them off and grease them up. Probably take less time to do it than wait for all the maybe's you will get.

The last time my hubs got hot it was a locked up brake calliper.

Well, the rim seemed hot too today. It isn't overly hot and I'm almost wondering if it isn't just from the sun. I will attempt to re-grease in the meantime and am contemplating the dual piston upgrade soon.
