Default grinding while rolling

took the car out for a little test run today. I heard a slight grinding earlier when teh car was rolling, thought it was the brakes (rear). Today i heard teh same noise, and its not real loud at all until I was going around a corner in my apartment complex and noticed the grinding noise got a lot louder. as if the weight had something to do with the friction. think it could be a wheel barring?

going to jack it up tomorrow and spin the wheel see if I hear anything, any ideas?

make sure the backing plates are not rubbing against the rotor on the front too

fronts roll freely, no wiggle.

the back have a lot more resistance in them. but I hear no grinding. The LR is a little harder then the RR and that is where I'm hearing the noise, especially when any load is distributed?

i'd have to say its not a bearing. there is a fresh scrape or rub on teh quad shock LR, where i suspected teh noise coming from. Shoes look fine on the rear, so I'm thinking the wheel was rubbing a bit.
