I had a slight vibration from the steering wheel when I was going down the highway just now. I pulled off the highway and the passenger side front tire/rim felt like like it was on fire. Has this happened to anyone? I'm not sure what it could be. Please help.

Out of alignment?

You probably have a seized caliper

Thank you my friends

My guess as well. Same thing happened to one of my rear calipers after it sat for winter.

^what they said, seized caliper. take it off and grease the slide pins and see if that helps

Well the caliper is shot. Can you folks give me some advice on rotors and calipers? Which brands do recommend? Thanks.

I used to get nothing but centric rotors and akebono pads, but ive just installed power stop pads all around and prime motive drilled and slotted rotors on the front and brembo blanks in the rear and they actually bite a little better and ended up costing a lot less, more dust though. For calipers, whatever will work, usually just get whatever advance auto has using a coupon code

Do you mean prime choice rotors? I was just looking at those the price seems pretty decent for four of them. Thanks for the info!

I had one of my pistons in the caliper seized when I went to get new brakes and rotors done, uneven pad wear, we couldn't get it unseized, bought a whole caliper on eBay for $60 cleaned it and painted it black with G2, rides like new! Happy hunting
