Hi

I have noticed that the driver side rear wheel and the passenger front (Alloys and same new tyres) seem slightly warmer (not hot) than their opposites once stopped. It isn't a huge temp difference but I wondered if something was bring this about. The EB has new rotors and Bendix Advance pads fitting 5K ago. Anything I should be worried about? Thanks.

Has it got the same pressures as the rest? Tires low on air get hotter.

Yes, same air last I checked when cold, 2 days back, 34 PSI. I might recheck but its more the mag that is warmer than the tyres. Oh well. Thanks.

I wondered about the handbrake pad or wheel bearings. Thanks, I will get it looked at. I am into preventative stuff before I need to do preventastive stuff if that makes sense. Its pristine and I want it to stay that way. Thanks again.

Lift up each individual wheel and turn it to see if the brakes are dragging.

Thanks for the replies. I will lift up the wheels. I phoned the brake place that did the work and they said that due to the proportional valve, the passenger front and driver's rear always grab first, even if by only a few milliseconds. They claim that after a longer drive this can bring about slight temp difference. As these are the exact 2 wheels that are warmer in my car, they may be right but I will also check.

Unless it's really getting obviously bad, I wouldn't worry too much.
