Brakes problem
1996 Buick Regal 6 cyl Two Wheel Drive Automatic 144K miles

Hello
I recently had my front brakes and rotors replaced
and my rear rotors filed
The car is making a whistling sound off and on but when it whistles it is a steady sound on left side I
believe toward the front..I felt the tires they were ok
but the front hubcaps were hot to touch
also there was a slight burning smell
the serpitine belt was replaced about 2 yrs ago and it looks ok and tight the alternator is also slightly new

I hope you can help as I use this car caring for the elderly thanks Adele
