I have a 2007 Chrysler 300. After driving 20 minutes my right back tire starts to make a jingle sound and alot of heat is coming from behind the tire and the hubcap is hot to the touch. It's been in the shop. Everything looks free and clear, emergency brake, regular brake, calipers, brake line, etc. My mechanic has looked twice, taken everything off and can not find the problem. Do you know what could be causing this?

    It could be a defective whee bearing heating up, I would inspect that as well.

    I had a different mechanic take a look today. He said the outer brake pad was stuck in the caliper bracket, and he also checked the wheel bearing. He cleaned rotors, calipers and put on new pads and problem is gone. Thanks for the reply, I appreciate it.
