Default Hyundai heating front brakes

I have a Hyundai accent 2000 model and bought it recently, The problem I have s my Front - Left Rim get hot than the other front wheel Rim - when i travel about 10 KM its heat up to a level wher I cant keep my fingers on it for more than 2 -3 seconds but the other wheel doesnt heat as such. I jack up the car and chk whether it is binding and found that it is not. ( I forgot to tell U this one is an Automatic Transmission ). you think something wrong with it?

I chk with several mechanics but they told me it is not brake binding.

Any Ideas guys??

Well if the rim is heating up but it's not caused by the brakes I would look at the hub. The bearings in the hub may be going bad and heating up spreading out to the rim.

i would say wheel bearing, if not it would be a caliper or sliders sticking
