On my way home from the Hershey show, About 1 and 1/2 drive I got a sound like something was dragging on the front passanger wheel . It seemed like the brakes were binding or the wheel bearing was dry. This only happened when we were in stop and go traffic and the brakes were being used a lot (95 degree outside). It went away after about 5 minutes of open road driving where I didn't have to use the brakes. So do you think it is the wheel bearing, brakes, or something else? What does a wheel bearing sound like when it is going and would it make sense that it would be an issue when it gets hot?
