Car Trouble..help!?!

[ICEPICK]

Since everyone else is going with the obvious... I'll guess wheel bearing!
(...couldn't resist!)

thats somthing i would also think off as well, never hurts to check it out.

[BP_Z28]

is it possible for it to "unlock" itself? Because it hasnt locked up in like 1 1/2 days

[BP_Z28]

Jacked it up..wheel turned just fine?

I dont know what your talking about a blue hue so I took some pics and maybe you can see it because i didnt see anything blue..unless im retarded

[BP_Z28]

anyone know if its possible for it to just "stop" locking up?

[ZeeVert]

Everything looks OK in the pictures.
It seems to be OK now?
After you jacked it up, the tire spun freely?

[BP_Z28]

I didnt know exactly how it was suppose to spin..but went I spent it..it stopped like 4 secs later is that normal or was it suppose to be spinning like roulette table (i know i spelled that wrong)

Depends on how hard you spun it

It should definately not be a roulette wheel though. Itll spin for a couple secs then stop normally, but if its really hard to spin or stops as soon as you let go that would mean a pad is hanging on the rotor bad.

[BP_Z28]

meh I didnt spin it to hard..but from what your saying..i guess its back to normal?

[ZeeVert]

Strange. It almost has to be the calipers hanging up.
No pull when braking?
How many miles on the pads?

[BP_Z28]

not really sure how much on the pads..i planned on replacing them soon anyways

When you say pull..you mean it pulling to one side right?

[ZeeVert]

Yeah... pulls to right or left when braking?

Can't be too bad if you've been driving it. Strange.

[BP_Z28]

Meh it somewhat pulls..but that could just be my alignment maybe because I need one..its not that bad but lil pull..but it could be the caliper too IDK..im just trying to get a credit card right now so I can do the brake job.... Yesterday it was pulling to the right when the "supposeingly" caliper is on the driver side so i should of pulled to the left right?

[ZeeVert]

Actually, that kinda makes sense. If the driver's side caliper is really locked up, moderate braking will cause a pull to the passenger side.

After a really hard brake, the driver's side moves a little and starts to drag, heat-up and smell.

I still go for a stuck caliper.

[BP_Z28]

well yea..it did heat up in the beginning..smelt like shit..haha

[BP_Z28]

Well the problem did go away..now its back..and to me it seems worse..car is shaking horribly when im not even giving it gas..going 45mph..5secs later im @ like 5...grrr


Its on the same side..driver side..alot of heat coming from the wheel area...

problem 1 after another..jesus it never stops!!!!
