So I'm new to this forum stuff . Need help. I have a 2008 mazda 3, it has 99,600 miles on it. I was driving down the highway at about 70mph when the front driver side tire seized up on me! So it pulled towards the passenger side, it would free and let me drive a little more and seize up again kept doing it so I parked it... help! Any ideas?

 

This happened to me when I did some brake work on a pontiac grand prix almost 20 years ago. I was new to DIY car work and didn't tighten a bolt to specs. It came loose on the highway and the caliper swung loose and locked up the tire; lucky I didn't get killed! Have you had any brake work done recently? That could be the cause.

 

No none and all the bolts are missing have already checked it out... was told it might be a wheel bearing? I'm stumped

 

*I meant all the bolts are in tact.

 

I'd agree that it's probably a wheel bearing. There are a few DIY videos on youtube, but if you haven't done much work in the past, it may be better to go to a shop.

 

Yes turned out to be wheel bearing. Thank you for your thoughts and posts��
