    Good Day guys!

    nagkaron ako ng problema sa ride ko one time. umusok yung sa may gulong driver's side sa front. nung icheck ko sobra init ng mags ko sa front compared dun sa likod. pero mas mainit talaga yung nasa driver side kasi nalusaw niya ung axle boot eh. i replaced bearings tapos nagpalit ng brake pads. pero nung itakbo ko yung sasakyan uminit pa din un front mags. hope you can help me out with my problem. thanks guys!

    Check the brake caliper if the pistons are moving smoothly. Also check the caliper itself if it slides smoothly as well. Check the wheel bearings.

    Given you have already replaced the wheel bearings, chances are your brake calipers are stuck up in some way or another. You can check by lifting the front wheel (with a jack) and give it a turn by hand.

    +1. It's almost sure to be a brake thing. If you use your brakes to do a lot of hard stops, they get hot. If they get hot too often, or if your discs are warped, it can cause caliper problems and brake sticking.

    When I still had my Sentra, my brakes were always a dull, glowing red by the time I got home at night.... ...my headers, too.

    Ang pagbalik ng comeback...

    the problem as it was stated occurs only on one side of the wheels. Hence I don't think it has something to do with hard braking or fast driving. I suggest that you bring your car to a shop and have your barake caliper serviced and overhauled. you can buy piston and caliper repair kit, once the problem has been identified.

overheat na mags??!
