Check that the smoking brake has no fluid leaking and that it is not over light due to a part seized caliper or pressure retention due to a faulty brake hose, if the wheel is dragging, crack the bleeder and see if this frees the wheel up, if so it is a pressure retention problem.

Check the wheel bearing is not floating about, there should be no movement.
