Re: "Rice Rocket'

K. I just saw your video of your wheel. It does kinda look like your wheel bearings are too tight, not your brakes dragging. But if you are still skeptical about your brakes dragging, maybe you have a warped rotor? Even new ones are not perfect (I have a set on my Yukon now I just want to chuck at someone!) take some spray paint and put a light guide coat on the rotors and spin them. See if it wears off evenly.

definitely redo your wheel bearing torque. See if your wheel seal is leaking. Use synthetic grease.
