Did my lines, pads & rotors six months ago along with front knuckle service and new wheel bearings...all have been working great.
Went to the mountains three weeks ago, after a prolonged downhill I smelled a burning smell and noticed passenger front wheel was much warmer than the driver side...the hub wasn't too hot though. I figured it was a stuck caliper (drove fine the rest of the way home) so I replaced the front calipers with remanufactured ones from Rock Auto. I reused the old pads as they only had 4000 miles on them and seemed to be wearing evenly (no burnt spots I could see.)
All seems to be going fine, went back to the same spot last weekend, and when I got to the bottom of the long downhill I checked the wheel...still warmer than the driver side and there was a faint burning smell (not strong enough to make it into the cabin this time.)
No symptoms I can sense while driving--no drag, no pulling under braking, and goes along the road fine...just not sure what is causing the heat/burning smell. Suggestions on what to check or do next? Thanks!
