I recently developed a problem in which after approxmately one-half-hour of city/highway driving, the front passenger side wheel becomes very hot and smokes. It becomes so hot that the tire sidewall heats up as well.

My initial thought was that it might be caliper related, but the car does not pull and when I take my foot off the gas the car seems to move without hindrance.

The only other thought I had was wheel bearings. Does anyone have any similar experiences or suggestions?
