Subaru 99 Forester smoke like smell coming from area around tire/brake.?

Could be an oil leak. I had one that was small, but leaked onto other parts that burned it off, creating the burning smell (and sometimes smoke).

Of course it is best to not smoke at all, but that isn't what was asked here. Why all the preaching in stead of answering a simple question? If you have no answer, why start preaching? Here's a simple solution that does work. 1. Put a small spoon full of bakingsoda in your mouth, take a sip of water with that. 2. Wash / brush your teeth with the bakingsoda in your mouth 3. Brush for 2 min, don't forget to also brush your tongue and gums, also under your tongue! After brushing thouroughly rinse your mouth 4. Eat something, like an apple. 5 repeat if nessecary

No matter what side they replaced, you will have residual grease left over that will get on the exhaust headers. You may also have a front crank seal leaking. I would think that the dealer would have found this, if true.

Could be link rods i cold be the brakes. When did the axle an tranny get replaced? Check fluid levels.

do they no hear squeek...MAKE them hear it....make um ride with u...you r gona smell oil like smells for several days till things break in and oil dries up....just keep fluids full...
