After about a 20 mile drive today I noticed a hot smell after I got out of the car. The right front wheel was very hot to the touch and smelled hot. All the others were cool to the touch.

I did not notice any unusual noises when I was driving.

What should I check? Brakes, wheel bearing? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif)
