[QUOTE="Flyer58, post: 431453, member: 18629"] Drive it for a mile or so and then feel the rims around the lug nuts to see if they're hot. As Gilaguy2 says it could be a brake dragging. Another problem is the rubber brake lines get swollen and restricted with age so they work when stopping but the lines don't release the brake pressure. Any unusual heat around the brakes and rims is not normal unless you in a racecar. Don't lose any fingerprints because they can get extremely hot. [/QUOTE]
