Now this isn't regarding a z4 but it's about my daily work car. Suzuki grand vitara 2001. Was driving the other day and car felt like front wheels were loose / pulling. So pulled over and passenger side wheel was really hot and so where break calliper and disk driver side wasn't. So. Assumed I had a seized break caliber causing pad to lock on and hence pulling / locking f front wheel. Jacked the car up and sure enough front wheel was stuck. Took calliper the sliders were good. Piston moved freely but pads were rused and stuck solid. Got them off cleaned everything up and all appeared to be working well. After a 20 mile drive to test things breaks felt good no sign of pulling but wheel was really hot again and so was the disk. Iv got no difference in wear left and rightsidesmn either pads or disks. Any one got any ideas, I'm thinking it maybe a wheel bearing causing friction and hence the heating up. But then feels firm no movement and no horrible sounds, however it is a little stiffer to turn than the right side. I'm assuming it's nothing to do with the 4 wheel drive as that would cause heat build up in the transfer box etc. any suggestions would be welcome along with any ideas to test the wheel bearing

Cheers jon
