Red face WRX Resistance

05 WRX Blob.

When I am pulling away from a standing start or in traffic at low sped there seems to be some small resistance at the rear drivers side & a slight knock.

Anyone have any ideas before I take it to my mechanic?

possibly the shoes on the inside of the disc catching / jamming ???

maybe needing adjusted ?

or perhaps caliper pistons seized

best to feel the alloy after a drive and see if its hotter than the alloy wheel on the other side , this indicates heat from the caliper sticking

doubt its diff related or wheel bearing as ud hear the bearing at high speed id think

jack the car up and see if the wheels turn freely. could be a warped disc.
