Default I turn my wheel, and what do i hear?

A nice little grinding, coming out of the rear...


sounds like either my bearing cage busted in my left rear, or a brake is dragging. only happens when the weight is shifted. what i am hoping is that there is some <but not too much, too much is bad> play in that bearing, that is causing the drum to rub on pads that are stuck out some <perhaps from a sticky e-brake cable>. i hope to look at it this weekend, praying that that wheel stays on :?


no more highway runs for me

Just keep driving it, if the wheel fall off, no big deal.
