Listees - Well here's another story to add to my struggles with vanagon ownership. As I was getting on the freeway onramp this evening I heard a brief high-pitched squeal from the front right wheel area. I didn't hear it at freeway speed, but about 8 miles up the road I smelled burnt brakes so I pulled into a gas station and saw smoke coming from the front right wheel well. I parked for a while, then turned around to head home. I tried using brakes as little as possible and I noticed as I took my offramp home that I could hear a new sound from the front right wheel -- sounded kinda like metal on metal! I will look at the area tomorrow, but this doesn't sound good. Has anyone had this experience? Why would one brake stick? Thanks again, Les ________________________________________________________________ GET INTERNET ACCESS FROM JUNO! Juno offers FREE or PREMIUM Internet access for less! Join Juno today!
