so after driving my vanagon for a little bit today, i smelled this "burnt
rubber" smell from the RF wheel area, not bad, barely noticible.. but i touched
the alloy wheel and nearly got burned!!   it was sooooo hot..   what is the
symptoms of a sticking caliper?  i dont hear any dragging...  but the brakes do
suck on this van.....

any ideas as to why that wheel would be so hot?
