[QUOTE="dbsteff, post: 441942, member: 20360"] I have a 2012 JK with 135000 miles. I can smell a burning smell coming from the front right tire and the lug nuts are very hot to touch. When I brake it pulls left a little. I recently replaced the wheel bearing hub assembly on the front right tire. The bearing went out while driving with the telltale steering wheel vibration and pulling hard to that side. Once the bearing was replaced all seemed well. Then I noticed a smell coming from that same tire. I replaced the caliper and brake pads cause I thought the original caliper was catching. It drove well for a few days before I noticed the burning smell. And I can feel it pull right while driving and then pull left when braking. I didn’t over tighten the spindle nut to the best of my knowledge. I tightened it on with the correct torque specs. And sometimes I can smell the but I I’m at a loss for what this could be now. Any help would be great [/QUOTE]
