Could be a tire or wheel bearing problem. Could even be an inept
alignment job. Could also be a dragging brake. How old are your
brake hoses? Sometimes they swell internally and act like a check
valve so the affected brake never fully releases. The pressure of
braking is high enough that on brake application it will seem normal
but just won't let completely loose. If one disk stays a lot hotter
than the others that would be the one. Careful not to burn yourself-
I've seen them hot enough to turn light blue, around 700° F.
