Smoking wheel hub?
Would anybody be able to give me any direction on what could be causing the drivers side front wheel to vibrate and the hub to heat up to the point it smokes? When I am driving it the brakes seem to be working normally. My first thought was that the brakes were hanging up, but that doesn't seem to be the case. Thanks in advance!

Re: Smoking wheel hub?
Probably bad hub assembly bearings. Do you hear any growling sounds? If you jack up the car does the wheel spin freely? Can you grab the entire wheel and wobble it back and forth?
