bad wheel bearing.
Check the wheel bearing.
i would check right rear axle if it is 4 wheel drive or all wheel drive or rear wheel drive. She may also have broken belt in tire. you may check wheel bearing or lug nuts for tightness.
it would be a good idea to
It is usually a wheel bearing that does this, one or more of your wheel bearings is worn out. When you apply the brakes they set the wheel hub off balance and therefore the wheel drags because of the bearing being so worn. To check this take the wheel rim off and try and rock the wheel hub, if it feels loose or it makes sound, your bearing is worn and you would have to replace it, this is quite a difficult job if you don't have the right tools though. A worn wheel bearing can also put strain on your power steering system if it is a front wheel bearing that is worn.
Most front wheel drive wheel bearing/hub assemblies are not serviceable.
wheel bearing
Assuming this is a front wheel drive, I would suspect the wheel hub/bearing assembly is bad. Have a trusted mechanic check it out before the wheel breaks off.
A dry wheel bearing will cause the rear wheel to squeak at low speeds. The wheel bearing should be checked immediately to avoid a major problem.
I'd check around for pricing. Try the AutoZone and/or the Checker web sites. FriPilot
Check the bearing and wheel lugs.
Yes, you can still drive it. You may have a tire out of balance or a wheel bearing getting bad. However, have a mechanic check it out soon.
