My car is mess. Shocks blown ( i ordered them though) and now this, might be related. I hear a thumping when i drive and my rotor is really hot afterwords, like smoking. What is rubbing here? is it shock-blown related? My car is such a mess

I have the same model, and I had to replace the driver's side caliper becuase it was sticking. The way I was shown was on a hoist the wheel when pushed by your hand moves rather easily, when the caliper is sticking it will be notchy and not smooth.
