Brake rotor, pad, or hub bearing problem (or some combo of the three)?
There are mysterious, metal-on-metal, dull rubbing sounds (not squeals) coming from my wheels. I suspect brake pads dragging, drums worn out, hub bearings, and would love input.
Lifted on a jack, the rear wheels will spin but will turn only a few times, for under ten seconds. The front wheels hardly spin more than one or two turns, a total of one or two seconds. The brake pads seem engaged slightly on the back wheels, indicated a dull metal rubbing sound, like shuffling shoes on sandy floors (bearings?). That sound seemed more pronounced in the front wheels.
Any help greatly appreciated. I'm worried the front could be transmission-related.
