Brake drag - not caliper or line - need help
#21
Hi all - I am new to your forum. I have read many of the post related to the Saturn VUE XE 2WD brake drag and here is the issue:
I have 2008 VUE 2 WD. While driving the car starts to feel like it won't go (no power) and I smelled something hot. Also had a vibration from the front. Pulled over and the right front wheel was extremely hot. So hot it could not be touched at all and smelt burnt.
After cooling and suspecting a stuck brake - I backed up and tapped the brakes - this seemed to free the brake and I drove home with no problem.
After researching the problem on - line, I replaced the caliper, the caliper bracket, and the rubber brake hose and with the bracket - bled the lines and tried it again - same problem.
Now I am not sure what to do - can anyone help?
Could this be something other than the brakes?
If it is brakes - what is causing them to drag and how can I tell?
