Yeah. Had to of been. Car was also probably working MUCH harder than it needed to. I had an odd smell in the car too and turns out it was brake fluid gushing from the caliper onto the hot rotor. But I got all of that sorted out now.
As counter culture as it sounds I'm thinking it would be nice to find some 16's that clear the calipers and get some fatter rubber on it to soften up the ride a little. But it really is a great cruiser considering its age and mileage!
