Faulty Brake Caliper: Ensure the brake caliper isn't stuck, keeping the brake pads in contact with the rotor and causing friction that generates heat.
Worn-out Disc Brakes: If the brake rotors are warped or have excessive wear, it can cause localized heating in the brake system.
Underinflated Tire: Check if the tire is properly inflated. Low tire pressure can cause it to deform under the weight of the vehicle, increasing rolling resistance and generating heat.
Improper Wheel Alignment: Incorrect alignment can lead to uneven tire wear, causing one tire to work harder than the others and generate more heat.
Seized U-Joint: If the rear axle has U-joints, check for any binding or resistance in them, as a seized U-joint can cause the tire to heat up.
