When i am driving for at least thirty five minutes and i stop the driver front wheel area smokes a lot. i have replaced rotors, pads, calibers, rack and pin. Tie rods, stabilizer links and axles. I need to know what it could possibly be.

is it fluid leaking on to rotor or something similar? is caliper frozen or not moving well in bracket? It kind of sounds like the latter two.

We initially thought leaking lines but its not that and we were thinking the wheel bearing like maybe the grease dried up and ceased the bearing

if bearing were bad or going it would make noiseif you have the old type front end then the seal was leaking and spraying grease if a one piece then if it's doing that then replace it.
