Took off the wheel today. The brake calipers move smoothly. The inside brake pad is worn almost to the wear groove. The outside pad is still fine. When the wheel is on and it's jacked up, the hub locks and unlocks properly. The wheel also spins freely.
When I did a test drive, it was the rotor that got hot first. The hub is not the source of the heat as far as I can tell. There is no sounds coming from the bearing that I can hear though.
Braking does not pull the car to one side.
Could it still be the bearing?
I have also noticed that sometimes in the deep cold (-20C or lower) that at the end of a long trip the brake pedal is hard to press down. Could the brake booster be causing any of this?
