After going for a decent drive (30min plus) normal driving and braking, can you see how hot your rear hubs get? (Just hand touch the top of the hub through your wheel)

My driver side has been getting rather hot lately and I don't know if its normal because of the weather and heat here in the UK atm mixed with some hard braking, or weather my caliper is sticking or my wheel bearing is on its way out.

No noises or anything just like I say just heat now and again, the other day after a quick blast I could smell the tyre and when I checked the hub was too hot to touch and the heat had transferred to the alloy as well.

Compared with the other side the driver side gets much hotter which leads me to think there is an issue forming...(doesn't happen after every drive)

Jack it up and spin the wheel after a drive see if brakes are binding or wheel bearing sounds noisey

What pads are you using and how's the wear? Since I've put Brembos on my fronts my rears get hotter
