    I added bilstein struts up front instead of a leveling kit to raise it
    So I thought it was low rear pads.. grinding when I stopped. But it makes a rubbing noise when I drive too? Doesn’t sound like a wheel bearing does it? Maybe debris caught up in it ?

    could be either, take the wheel off and see if anything is amiss, check for play, sounds in bearings, look and see if pads or rotors are worn. Could be helpful to list your miles, maintenance info.

    The backing plates on the rear brakes can corrode and they expand as they do, then they can rub on things. Rather than buying new ones, I took mine off and ground them down, then slathered them in rust converter and painted them.

    It could also be bad wheel bearings, but the only way you'll know is to pull it apart a bit.
