I have been trying to figure out why i have to keep sideways pressure on my wheel for a while now and i went to my front hub on the left side and felt it and it was so hot i couldnt keep my hand on it. The pads in the caliper are stuck to the rotor and are too hot to touch right now. The truck would do the jumping on the road and pulling the one way for a while and when i went over a good bump it would free itself but i was wondering how i would go about making this stop. I pounded on the pads and caliper for a bit with a hammer and pryed on them with a screwdriver but they wont move. I have to use my truck to get to school.

My dad had this same problem and replaced about 500 dollars worth of stuff and then found out one of his brakelines that goes from the frame to the caliper messed up, and it would let fluid go to the caliper but wouldn't let it come back. I'm guessing you have a problem along those lines, but if it fixes when you hit a bump i'm going to guess your caliper is just getting stuck and you'll need to get another.....
....just my guess....
