What causes a burning smell from the front driver side wheel?
I think you have a frozen brake caliper (most likely) or a bad wheel bearing. There’s not much else that can cause a burning smell in the wheel well. Another possibility is a crimped brake line, which keeps pressure on the brake even when you are applying pressure to the pedal. cappy208 July 5, 2016, 7:26pm #3

Why are my brake rotors red and smoke coming out?
Another reason that already discuss is wheel bearing starting heat up. when this happened, the temperature of the entire brake system increased which made the brakes red hot, and smoke started to come out of the rotor. This also results in the change of the rotor’s color from blue to pink which shows that replacement is needed.

The result, and the clue, of trouble is the brake dust you see on just that wheel.
What kind of noise does a bad wheel bearing make?
Noise can be misleading: a humming noise while driving can be caused by several different issues, starting with your tires, but it can also be the wheel bearing or CV joint. The classic sounds of a bad wheel bearing are cyclic chirping, squealing and/or growling noise.

How can you tell if your wheel bearing is worn out?
However, one warning sign of a wearing out wheel bearing is a loud grinding or roaring sound that comes from the tire area of your car. This is caused by excess heat that has built up inside the wheel bearing and losing a lot of its lubricity.
What makes a roaring noise after wheel bearing replacement?

What causes a bad sound in a wheel assembly?
This sound is caused by lack of lubrication inside the bearing, a misaligned bearing or one that has cracked due to impact with another object. It’s very difficult to determine by sound which wheel bearing is going bad as the sound can be very misleading.
