new bakes on 2005 Hyundai Elantra	Sign In

Hi all.
I just installed new brake pads and rotors in my 2005 Hyundai Elantra. It was pulsating badly. Now it brakes very nicely. However, after an 8 mile drive, I noticed a smell when I got out of the car. The wheel and tire on the drivers side was quite warm and the burning smell was coming from that side. The other side is OK. Any ideas on this one?

Thanks, Joe

You have a brake that's not releasing properly. This could very likely be what ruined your old rotors.
It could be due to frozen caliper slides, frozen caliper pistons or internally ruptured flex brake hoses in front. I would probably replace the calipers and hoses but make sure you do it on BOTH sides, not just one. Check the movement of the slides in the process.

Thanks for the reply. The possibility of a bad caliper makes sense. If I had a ruptured hose somewhere, wouldn't I notice that I was losing brake fluid at the master cylinder? It remains full and has remained full.

Thanks, Joe

No, not at all. They rupture internally and restrict the fluid flow going back to release the brake. It applies it OK because of the pressure but doesn't release properly. It's a very common cause of disc brakes staying applied.
