This started yesterday. Sounds like something big and metal is dragging under the car but there's NOTHING there. I have brand new front tires and it doesn't happen when I'm braking....HELP a sweet stranded girl who has no clue what this is and has never heard suc h a sound from her cute little car???!!! :-)
Are the mud flaps hitting the tires? Maybe you hit a mud flap on something and bent one of them to make it now be rubbing on a tire
SOURCE: smoke from passanger front tire
Maybe the wire is warm-up too much, try to replace the wire.

I would check it myself no matter who did the work. Jack up the car so that wheeel is off the ground. (Block atleast one back tire so the car cant roll off the jack) Make sure the car is in neutral... then see how freely the wheel spins. It should spin easily. check the break lines, fluid. I would even have someone sit in the car and press the break so you can visually see the it working. You may need to pull the wheel off and just spin the rotor. (most likely) My other thought whe I read your problem was that the wheel bearing could need to be replaced as well. They can definatery smoke when the get dry, but if you had no problem with it before doing the breaks then I would not think it should have one now. Focus on the calliper and pads first. post you results. I will check back. Tim
