smoke/ elctrical burning smell

(1/1)

Gr33NGoph3R:
located it just dont know why it would be happening I noticed the smell on my way home checked for location when I got there and it had smoke coming from the passenger front wheel around the brakes any ideas

Mayhem:
Had the exact same problem, on the exact same wheel. Grease from wheel bearings that dripped on the rotor and the rim.  Smoked and made the brakes pull a little. Turns out the caliper was dragging, causing the rotor and bearings to get very hot.  Inside and outside pads worn very unevenly. Replaced both calipers and no new problem.

Gr33NGoph3R:
ya thought it might come down to calipers thanks for the info
