Recently, while driving down the road, my truck developed a pull to the left. At a stoplight, I noticed smoke coming out from the front left wheelwell and it smelled like the pads were burning. By the time I stopped to inspect, it seemed to go away. This happened once before (a year ago) on the front right. When I had it checked out then, they said I had a cheap set of pads on the truck and I had them replaced. If it's not another set of "cheap" pads, what could be happening?

Your brake caliper piston is not retracting or collasped brake hose acting as a one way check valve or you have a problem with the ABS unit
