Hello. I have a 99 Jimmy. It has just started making a rubbing noise from what seems to be the rear wheel ( driver's side). It goes away when I turn right. Louder when I turn left. Is this the infamous wheel bearing problem or just a brake prob. It does seem to go away a little when I depress the brake. Could it be something in the guard for my rotors? Thanks in advance.

It's probably your front wheel, and yes, probably the bearing. The noise is just traveling and disguising itself.

I had the noise fixed. It was a brake hardware problem.
