Default help!!! ABS light on and rear disc brake is like grinding.

well i don't know what is the problem, but the ABS is on and brakes still works good but when coming to a stop, you can hear this grinding noise and after stopping and you start to go you can hear it grinding on the low speed. I don't know what it could be now cause the left rear wheel does not spin freely if you jack it up and try to spin it, where the right rear wheel spins freely when jacked up. Well if anyone can help, it would be great. Thanks in advance.

You should stop driving it, first off. From the description, it sounds like the wheel bearings are bad. The abs light is probably on because a bad bearing will cause the tone ring clearance to change (as the hub flops back and forth), which the abs computer interpets as a issue with the sensor.

If you are not comfortable checking/replacing the hub (which it sounds like from your post), take the car to have a professional look at it. BUT DO NOT CONTINUE TO DRIVE IT!
