my car has been slowing itself down for the past months. i investigated further and noticed that when i jacked the car up and tried to spin the passeger side wheel it would take a good bit of force to get it to turn. So i did the complete deal and purchased new caliper, brake pads, brake hose, wheel bearing, & rotor. I installed everything and bleed the system. The wheel is still hard to manually turn when i jack the car up. Their is no overheating of the wheel before nor after the new parts. Did i waste my time. I only did this because the driver side turns very good when i manually spin it by hand. But the PASSENGER side is aweful.

ANY IDEAS... Please Help

how tight did you put the wheel bearing nut. the caliper would have been my diagnoses. i would check the proportioning valve.
