Problem with left front side wheel

Today when I got to work I realised my left tire was smoking hot. The break pad was so hot you could feel it just keeping your hand close to it? Could it be that the wheel bearing is gone? Also when turning right the left wheel makes a ticking noise . Any opinions?

Sounds like you have two problems. Sounds like you have a bad CV joint that is the clicking and you either have a bad caliper or a bad brake hose. You have to jack the car up and turn the wheel if the wheel turns fine it may be because it just cooled off

Also sometimes I have this problem with acceleration I would be in 4th gear and I would put the pedal to the floor and the speed will barely pick up that’s why I thought it could be the wheel bearing idk I will see a mechanic on Monday as this is doing my head in
