Default 2 problems with accord

The first one is that my left lower ball joint broke and my whole wheel came off while i was driving. so now i put new upper control arm. lower ball joint tioe rod ends. and new axle. now what happens is when i drive and i come back. alot of heat comes out through that side compared to the right front wheel. if i touch anything it's very hot compared to other side which is slightly warm. i dont know if it is normal or there is any thing wrong. its a manual transmission. so whenever i am about to make a stop at red light. i would press clutch and the rpm would jump to 1500 and when i shift it to neutral and completely stop. it will stay there for like 5 to 10 seconds and then it will drop back again to 700 to 800 rpm.

By the way it's a 92 accord ex manual transmission

could be because i took it to mechanic and he said i have to change left front bearing and it is the left side which gets hot. so much so it even took my left axle's rubber out of shape. does it matter for axle's boot being out of shape?

the boot just keeps dirt and stuff out of the joint in there... so as long as it's not a huge hole you should be ok i think
