anyone help with this one,
my front drivers side brake seems to be jamming on, just noticed it once or twice the last 2 weeks. burring smell and the alloy itself was burring hot. This morning it was bad, it was actually slowing me down and a bit of a grinding noise, thought the wheel was going to some off. :-(
would this be the calliper jamming on?? dangerous?
