warm locking hubs
#2
not pulling to right, ? or braking pull?

its either the rotor hot, or bearings.
but using the brakes will get them all very hot.
if not using brakes and only one hot, that is rotor drag or bearings (wheel)
the caliper slider pins can seize on this car and cause full time drag.
my real jeep has SST pins with teflon guides, by comparison.

use an IR pyro gun to the rotor then to see if its hot, then hub. see who is more hot.
if the rotor is way hotter it is , and is dragging some way, even a rusty sticky caliper pistons.

if the locking hub:
stick open ,it slips
if it stick closed car will want to pull funny to one side. (stuck) and is a bad act that. im sure yours unlocks. if not sure you can remove them and drive.
or jack one side at a time and attempt to spin the tire, you will see the CV's spin with a locked hub.
