While driving ...i find it difficult to move the car and smoke start coming out the tyre ....caliper or wheel cylinder problem or what(nissan sunny 1.4,1993 model japan)
Re: While driving ...i find it difficult to move the car...
Your brake caliper or wheel cylinder is probably siezed. That will overheat the pads and rotor, causing it to smoke and be hard to move. Have it checked.

Which wheel(s) are not releasing? Could be debris in the wheel cylinder(s) partially blocking the return fluid (drum brakes) or a defective wheel cylinder or cylinders or even defective calipers (disc brakes).
Mr. MOMODU, as you said looks like the brakes master cylinder is faulty. is blocking the front wheels.Renew the brakes Master cylinder and bled the system and would be okay.
I have never seen anything which contains petrol in a tyre or wheel. Are you sure that you do not have a leaking brake component, such as a slave cylinder or caliper, at that wheel? Check your master cylinder. Failing that check the route of your fuel line, I would suspect some type of rupture, given today's fuel line pressures it could be spraying from anywhere onto the tyre.
Just the tyre heating up? Have the wheel alignment checked. That screaming is because the wheel which is becoming hot is not pointing in the right direction. Perhaps you or one of your family clipped a curb or worse? If it is the brake caliper that is heating up(sometimes accompanied by smoke rom the brakes) then you probaly have a damaged/binding piston. Repair is possible but not recommended. Dont mess with the brakes. Replace the caliper.
hi it could be bearings first jack the car block it safely and try moveing the tyre side to side holdind the tyre in both hande move it up adn down and side to side if you find you have movement its the bearing if not check the brake cylinder it could be sticking
Your brake light switch is adjusted in all the way and is pressing on the brake pedal. This causes the brake to be slightly applied. As you drive the vehicle the brake fluid heats up and expands, the brakes will apply more and more until you see the smoke. Bottom line: your brakes are always applied at the master cylinder because something(usually the brake light switch) is out of adjustment.
