I have a 97 Jeep Cherokee Sport and it just started making a noise when I left to come back to work from lunch today. When I am moving slow, it makes a grinding noise near the rear driver's side wheel. When I go above, I think, 10-15mph, it stops but then starts again when I am stopping. Applying the brakes doesn't seem to make it better or worse.
Any ideas on what this could be, or what I should check?

Remove the wheel and brake drum and see if you may have some broken or loose brake shoe attachment parts rolling around inside the brake drum.

It could be the brakes. I had 1996 Buick Century, that had a grinding noise coming from the back, and when I changed the rear brakes, the noise went away.

Jack up that rear wheel and chock one of the front tires (parking brake off). Now rotate the tire and see if you hear the noise. If you do, it's probably in that wheel's brake mechanism. If you have rear drum brakes, you can't see much more by taking the rear wheel off as you can if you have rear disc brakes.

sounds like your brake indicator. You need to have the brakes checked. Sounds like it is time for replacement.
