Default Low Traction Light comes on?

I've got a weird grinding noise coming from the area around the back left tire, cant figure out what it is. It's like a grinding creaking noise and sometimes the Low Traction Light comes on but then once I get rolling it goes away. Any Ideas on what it could be?

Is your brake caliper loose? It might be rubbing up against the wheel.

Wheel bearing cage may be rusted or broken. causing the wheel to make noise SOMETIMES and allowing the axle to move up and down without the spring forcing it on the ground.

The spring pushes the axle housing down. If the axle isnt making 100% contact with the housing,the axle can hop or loose traction.

Some may have never heard of such a thing but, "if it aint wat ppl say it is, then it is wat ppl say it aint"

Might have to put that in my sig
