I just replaced a caliper and new brake pads on my 2005 Chevy Equinox. Front drivers side. I took it out for a drive and when I got back home that side I changed smelled like burning rubber comming through the tire. I could see smoke or steam comming out from between the rim and tire. What would cause this? and what should I do next to fix this problem? Thanks.

Why did you change the caliper to begin with.
