need some help please.

the fault is the drivers rear brakes is rubbing ie the brakes is on.
the funny thing is it only happens when you turn left and the quicker you turn the louder the rubbing gets. i think it maybe sticking when i am driving in a straight line but cant hear any rubbing noise

so i decided to change the brake caliper, handbrake cables and did a brakefluid change on it. the rubbing noise is still there.

also the alloy wheel gets pretty hot as well

any help on this ??

cheers

Sounds rather like a sticking caliper mate.

Does the wheel rotate freely when you jack up that corner?

(Remember the wheel chocks/axle stands/parking in gear so as she doesn't roll away)

My one did this on the rear but only when the car was rolled forwards not backwards. After i checked the caliper i had overtightened it and losened it a little.
