  1. Thanks for the replies! First the auto has 124k on it. It has had few miles over the past 3 years. Like about 2000. I just bought it. The heat from the front rims is to me extreme. Skin contact would burn you if touched for more than 5 seconds after only driving for 2-3 miles. I have not pulled the wheels yet but based on comments and reading I am guessing the calipers are sticking. I am also getting very intermittent "trac" illumination on my dash but only after driving for a while and not all the time. I am just feeling out this car at this point not using much. It's in mint condition most miles between Minnesota and Arizona, no rust, all documented service etc. I am a little spooked by the cost of repairs, but so far the car drives like a dream. What is the best way to check the calipers? Another question, how in the world do you access the tail lights to change a bulb??? I've got a brake light out and am baffled by how to get the lens out?
  2. I leaned against my ls400 front wheel with shorts and got a pretty hot almost burn from it. It had not been driven long and both fronts were really hot on the wheels. The backs are considerably cooler. I pulled the cap off and felt both hubs and they were very hot. There is no squeak or sound coming from the wheels and the wheel does not rock on the hub. I am assuming the bearings are getting really hot as well. Any thoughts and what should redoing the fronts cost me? Can I just replace the whole hub as a fix?
