Default Hot Wheel

I've been noticing lately that after taking a cruise on the highway that my front driver side wheel is kind of hot. I think the rotor is getting really hot too. It's much hotter than my front right wheel for sure. My first thought is that it might be a stuck caliper again but I don't have any uneven drag when I break. Also I hear a vibrating sound coming from the front left end at highway speeds. Any ideas?

Could be your wheel bearing or a warped rotor.

smuv is right, could be a warped rotor if you didn't change it after u fixed the seized caliper.
