Default ABS issue

ok well my car makes this deep whurring sound from the rear end kinda. its not griding and its not squeeking, but lyke a dul roar. and one mechanic told me it was my rear end about to take a dump. some friends said it could be a wheel bearing and another said it could be my caliper. reason im saying abs is cause my abs light comes on ever now and then and my brakes are weird..like when i literally slam on brakes it just slows down kinda quick but lets say if a car slammed on brakes infront of me im screwed if i tryed to slam on brakes....and also it squeeks when i turn left

does it sound like gears are topped becuse if that is the case then your rear end is out of adjustment adn could blow if not then check your calipers they could be seized in one spot really any number of things could be wrong

yeah, i dont think its my gears, b/c when i turn right the sound goes away. when i turn left my rear driver side wheel squeeks like a bat out of hell. i was thinking it could be my caliper, also being how fudged up my brakes up

Feel up your rotors lol. Do they have deep grooves or are they smooth? Try spraying the rotors with stop-squeak. If its a whooo whooo whooo whooo sound its most likely a wheel bearing. Severely warped rotors typically make a more shrill sharp squeak.

Nah, because a deep whirring can be indicative of nearly anything. From fuel pump to gear whine. It needs to be looked further into. I highly doubt it's brake related.
