Default Accent right wheel gets red hot...

Hi. I'm new to this forum, but not automotive forums ( I have 2 other cars besides the Accent, which I go to car forums for). I tried search, nothing helpful came up...here's my problem. The passenger side front rim/lug nuts etc gets red hot under normal driving. I've had the Calipers and pads replaced, and had the lines replaced (in case they were collapsing) rotors also replaced. Had a local garage check it out multiple times to find out why it does this. I asked him if it could be the bearings, he took it for a spin, looked around behind the rim at the breaks etc, said theres no squeel or binding, and he thinks the bearings are ok. My wife is afraid to drive the car and do damage to something. Does anyone have a suugestion for what I can check, and has anyone heard of this before? Thanks for your help.

Just a question, but did your mechanic put the car on a hoist and check it on there or did he just drive the car around and make the diagnosis?

What year accent?

On the 03 I had the brake master cylinder went out. I got a new one at autozone for like $40 + core.

Edit: My accent did the same with the wheels and lug nuts getting hot.
