Default problem today random real bumpy ride around 30-45

wondering what this is... i haven't gone over and hard bumps lately only a small curb but i didnt think it could cause anything like this

problems
-lately the car has been squeaking randomly from the left front usually going straight at low speeds
-for some reason the left front gets VERY hot much hotter then the passenger wheel you can usually feel the heat
-this usually makes the left front MUCH more dirty then the others MUCH faster its very noticeable
-just today the car felt bumpy, early on, but it wasnt bad and went away
-tonight i was going 45 and it felt like i was going over pot holes
-thought it was the road but i switched lanes and it continued

things iv checked
-brakes have been working fine no skipping when breaking and they seem to have life
-turning seems fine no bumpy feeling or squeaking
-got out checked my lugs and tire pressure all were ok

please help me out i need 2 make a 2 hour trip soon

my guess would be that the caliper is sticking and warped the rotor...also causing the high heat and extra brake dust.

or - wheel bearing is bad

Exactly what I was thinking.

so should i just remove the caliper and check the placement... that could be true because i bought the car with R/T neon wheels which scraped the caliper for about a month before i could get new wheels

took the caliper off it seems like hte piston is seized i jacked up the car and tried to shake the tire (to check for bearing) but it held firm the rotor would not move until i took the caliper off tho...

im going to try and bleed the brakes tonight or tomorrow its like 102 degrees here
