burning brakes?? suspension? idk...

All stock suspension.

never had this problem before.

i drive my car for a little, then i smell something burning like rubber or brakes or something? and the right rear wheel is extremely hot. the others arent very hot at all.

theres no problem braking or anything (no sounds etc), also it rolls fine in neutral and doesnt even seem like theres anything wrong...

AFTER i noticed the brake / hot wheel problem i noticed my e-brake was really loose, so i tightened it up. this solved nothing, and the smell continued.

thanks

I had a similar problem last year, ended up being a frozen break caliper, it wasn't bad enough to keep the wheel from moving but it kept the break pad on the rotorall the time and the wheel would get really hot. The only reason I figured it out is because I checked my break pads and found that one side was completely worn out while the other side looked brand new.

When I tried to compress the caliper it wouldn't move. Swapped it for a new one and it is now good to go.

I would stop driving your car, check your rear right pads or all of them while you are at it. Chances are the pads are locked.Driving continuously will wear out the rotors and ruin your pads
