ABSTRACT:
A tactile and visual indicator is mounted on the hub cap of an axle of a vehicle. The indicator has a deformable face that protrudes away from the hub cap in response to the presence of pressurized air in the space containing the wheel bearings. The position of the deformable face indicates the presence or absence of hub integrity and indication of grease about the wheel bearings.
