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 tire off, use lug nuts to tighten rotor...with a jack stand, place pencil on rotor and spin it and see if it stays on rotor or if it skips.
