Would that cause the rubbing effect? The calipers, I mean?

I don’t ride my brakes at all.

Yes. It may be a broke caliper. Locking up and causing both the noise you hear and the dragging.

Nobody who buys a Dodge actually uses the brakes.

If it is a wheel bearing, the wheel will not stay perfectly straight up and down because it won't be as well supported. Rubbing could easily be the brake rotor leaning into one side of the brake pads. That would also cause drag.

Are you one of the people who learned to drive with one foot on the brake and the other foot on the accelerator?
