Tire rim getting hot

30

Asked by Bob01261981 Apr 08, 2019 at 05:14 PM about the 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan R/T FWD

Question type: Maintenance & Repair

I have a 2012 Dodge Grand Caravan. The
passenger rear rim gets hot after driving. So hot I
can not touch it. The brakes have been replaced
and I just replaced the Callipper on it as well.
Hoping this was the fix it still got hot again today.
Any ideas

the brake hose may have collapsed internally , crack open the bleeder , put a clear hose on it and see if brake fluid comes out when you TAP the brakes . Take a look atb the calipers to make sure they are new .

The hot rim doesn't happen Everytime I drive it only seems to happen when I brake alot.

The friction from using the brakes is making the wheel hot? Id check wheel bearing. If you're driving a distance its not going to stay cool under frequent braking...only one side gets hot? Does that side wear out faster then the other? Porportioning valve? Sending more brake power to that wheel versus equalizing it?
