Hey Guys,
I think the Electro-Metro threw a shoe.
Kristin and I were coming home from the grocery store last night. When I pulled into the driveway and stopped there, I saw a small cloud of smoke from the front of the car. I thought at first that it may have been steam coming up from the driveway, as it was raining at the time.
But nope, it wasn't the rain. The burning smell gave that away. I checked under the hood - no melted wires, and everything was nice and cold, as usual.
Then I checked the wheels. The passenger-side wheel was very hot. All I can think of is that it must be a bad wheel bearing. If it were an issue with the brakes, I am sure I would have felt the drag.
What do I need to do to replace bearings on a car like this? Any other things to check for first?
On the up side, this is just a car thing - purely mechanical - it seems to have absolutely nothing to do with fuses, cabling, batteries, or anything like that!
