    Well, as you use your brakes, the calipers become hot. The caliper radiate the heat to the wheels.

    But if you suspect the brake pads are rubbing the rotor, you can take it to a mechanic to check.

    I have a similar car. Brakes for this model Corolla do tend to run hot even in "normal" use.

    If the car tends to swerve to one side if you let go of the steering wheel, it might be a sign that one brake caliper might be in need of servicing.

    normal lang na uminit kung caliper type ang brake. sa drum&shoe type, di dapat umiinit kung normal driving lang.

bagong palit brake pad, uminit ang mags..
