Yesterday while driving around with a buddy in town we were stopped at a light and I smelled something odd. Mentioned to my friend that someones car near us was getting hot! Couple miles down the road at another intersection I smelled it again but this time I saw some smoke coming out of my right front fender. Pulled into a parking lot, touched the wheel and nearly burned my hand. Man that wheel was hot! Let it set for about 30 minutes to cool and everything seemed to be OK. Dropped my buddy off at his house, checked it no problems. Went home about 15 miles away, no problem except for the brake pad being a little squeaky.
So my questions are:
1. How likely is it that this will happen again?
2. If it's going to happen again. Should I remove it and clean it up or just put a new/re manufactured caliper on it.
3. I'm going to remove the pads and rough them up a bit or replace them today depending on how they look (14,000 miles on the current pads & rotors) Anything else I should be looking at?
Thanks Bob~
