When i drive in a narrow street i can hear a churning metal sound coming from my rear left wheel ... what is that ? and how to fix it ? .... i am a big noob but can it be the wheel bearing ? or like the brakes are stuck somehow ?

take a look at everyting back there...
make sure the lug nuts are on good and tight
check how much brake pads you have left (on both sides of the rotor)
and do the wiggle test.


--------------------
the 1/4 doesnt have patience for a ST.... so we make them ST-T's so atleast we'll sound good going slow.
