Default Hot wheels....literally

02 ZR2. Just did a complete front end rebuild, everything from the front diff out and all new AC Delco parts. Just noticed both my front wheels are equally warm/hot after a 12 mile drive. I can't find any heat in the wheel bearings, calipers or rotors, not as cool as the axle shaft but not as hot as the center of the wheel. What am I missing here? Normal???

Depends on your driving (braking) style
Jack up Your ride, check if the wheels turn freely, if so, I wouldn't bother. Front wheels always take more load on braking, so they will have higher temperature than the rear ones.
