Wheel Bearing?
I was driving around yesterday and all of a sudden the car pulls HARD to the left and when I pulled over there was ALOT of smoke coming from the brake area. What else could it be because I though bearings going out would give atleast a little warning and not just go out like that.

Re: Wheel Bearing?
the rotor assembly could have seized to the spindle.
Or you brake caliper locked up. It could be as simple as a bad flex line

Re: Wheel Bearing?
yea, jack the car up and see if you can turn the wheel.
if no, pull the wheel off.
remove the caliper, if it come off relatively easily, its still working properly.
try to turn the rotor, if it doesnt move with the caliper off, the bearings have welded to the spindle.
