If the 'G' is like many cars the parking brake is a drum type of brake and can be prone to not fully disengaging on one side only. I would remove the wheel and try to spin the hub and see if you have contact with a disc brake pad. If not then you could be down to a couple of problems. One being the parking brake, another being a bearing. And the fact is, if this has been going on for awhile, then a parking brake problem could now have become a bearing issue as well.kpodj61240 wrote:imop it would deff be a stuck caliper. if it was the e brake both should be hot. you could try bleeding them but i dont know if that would make the piston free agian
A typical parking brake has a single cable that starts at the parking brake actuator. At some point this splits into two parts one for each rear wheel. Often times when someone checks this they simply check the slack on the cable which tells you next to nothing if the problem is in the hub assembly.kpodj61240 wrote:oooo well if is a drum brake. (i didn't know that) i recently had this problem on a kia sophia i changed pads on. there is a cylinder with pistons on both sides well one of them were stuck and would not allow to the pad to come all the way back in so id was rubbing against. but see u guys keep saying the parking brake. its only one wheel thats getting hot. and i think the guy would have checked the parking brake first. p
