2003 KJ Sport:
On my commute home, I noticed smoke and then smelled the fluid. I get home to see the rear drivers side Jeep center cap has melted off it's mounts, lugs are super hot, rotor looks gnarly. Oddly, I notice fluid in both rear fender wells.
From my brief inspection, the hoses and lines look to be intact. I won't know until tomorrow morning as I am on the clock at the moment.
I will put on jack stands, see how rear wheels turn. I assume new caliper, rotor, pads, bleed the system as I am sure the fluid got boiled?
What are some diagnostic test to check the hoses?
After I replaced suspension this past summer, I had the brakes bled, tech mentioned a bad bleeder valve, may call to see if their paperwork notes which caliper.
