- I just took my Rabbit for a test drive after putting the front end back
- together. Everything seemed okay. However after awhile I noticed smoke coming
- the front left wheel - it also smelled awful. At first I thought it might
- be the transmission. I pulled over to take a look. What did I see but a bright
- red glowing brake rotor.

- I haven't had a chance to take things apart. From a quick glance it looks like
- the pads are on properly. If the pads were rubbing I think I should have
- noticed a pull to the left while driving but I didn't. Any ideas???
-
- Thanks in advance,
