Last year I found a drum/rim center 30* higher than the other 5 on a short haul, so watched it closely. When home, I pumped extra grease into it before our 2300 mile SoCal run early this year...all 6 were equal temps throughout the whole trip after more grease.
While this may not catch China bombs, it is respectable data for awareness IMO
