Can anyone help me with a TD wheel problem.
I was driving up the highway at about 50 mph and all was well for about 15
miles. Then slowly the car began to slow down, and when I lifted my foot off
the gas the rear right brake felt like it was on. The car wanted to stop, but
only on the right rear...also started getting a smell of burning brake pads.
I immediately pulled over and felt the hub, it was hot. I checked the hand
brake to see if it was somehow pulled up, or stuck on, but it was loose. I
thought maybe the wheel bearing was going, so I called a flatbed and had it
taken home.
I haven't had a chance to explore the brakes yet. I'm wondering if anyone
else has had this problem? Is it commonly brakes or wheel bearings ? Would a
wheel bearing just fail, or would it start to sieze slowly?
Thanks for the help.
