Default problem

when i was comin home tonight, i came to a stop sign slowed down and my car was pullin all the way to the left, had to muscle it back to the center with both hands, did this all the way home. and also while i was going the wheel was damn near outta control bouncin back and fourth. i pulled over to make sure i didn't have a flat or nothin. no flat but my left rim was 10x hotter then my right. I was thinkin maybe a break calipers hung up? but i'm not sure, any ideas?

wow that is weird i agree with thumpu77 check your lug nuts and make sure they are to torque specs, 85ft.lbs of torque. if thats not it you might have more problems on your hands. my car pulls a little to the left and i have to muscle it sometimes but its usually cuz my tire is caught in a groove in the road

Jack that corner up, grab a hold of that wheel and see if you can move it around. It sounds to me like something is loose, or maybe a bad wheel bearing. if everything feels tight, remove the wheel and inspect the brake caliper and make sure it's still bolted on tight.
