JimSTORM 0 Posted March 1, 2007 I took my Vr6 out the other night for a drive, everything seemed to be normal until after about 30 mins the ride started to get incredibly bumpy. I thought i may have even got a flat as it was affecting the steering and felt really lumpy. I stopped and had a look, i couldnt see any problems but their was an immense amount of heat coming from around the front driver side wheel. The wheel was actually red hot! I really dont no what is up with it and dont know wether it is ok to drive it. Anyone have any ideas ? As im clueless and want to sort. Thanks James.

vr6storm 0 Posted March 1, 2007 sounds like a binding caliper Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
JimSTORM 0 Posted March 1, 2007 That sounds like it could be the problem. What could have caused it to bind suddenley? Nothing has been done to it or could it have been a large pot hole or something similar? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
craigowl 0 Posted March 1, 2007 Can just happen through age and dirt. Once you have had it happen, you will find yourself checking the temperature of all four wheels regularly after a run for the rest of your motoring life! Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
2cc 0 Posted March 1, 2007 after about 30 mins the ride started to get incredibly bumpy That does not sound good. Sudden wheelbearing failure also a high possibility going by your description. Also from what you say you cannot check yourself so would advise a garage check it soonest. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
