Check to see if your caliper is seized

Check Your tire to see if it is dragging for real! If so some of your tire will be flat
Maybe Caliper is stuck like guy said above or something is wrong with breaking system.
Could be a bad wheel bearing. Iv hit a pot hole really hard once and was driving with my car for a while but always noticed something was "off"
I forgot the symptoms but it didnt seem balanced.
Turns out the wheel bearing was bad. Car lifted up tire was shaken side to side. rim coming toward and away from you back into the wheel well.
ITs very difficult to sense but there was a small amount of play and a little pop noise of the bearing out of place. I think it made a sound until higher speeds too.
Once it was replaced I was good. Wasnt hard and you can do it yourself. Im not a mechanic so if I can do it you can do it.
You dont really need a guide i dont either. Just take off the tire, rotor and you can just see whats going on.

First thing first, easiest first step to diagnosing the problem would be to see whether your tire is low on pressure. Then, check your tread pattern. Is the low tire light on?
