glunk is an unknown quantity at this point
2 problems

1 low washer fluid light won't go out
2 when going around left hand turns rear brake drum rubs on backplate,
makes a nasty scraping sound.
thought it might be the bearing but just returned from a 600k run and no sign of bearing heating up
any ideas

1. have you checked to see if you are low on washer fluid?

2. pull the rear drums and check everything.

Check the easiest things first.

washer is full
pulled both rear drums everything is tight
you can see where drum is rubbing on backplate
also when car is jacked up there is no slack in bearing

If the washer fluid is full and the light wont go off, you may have a bad switch.

Not sure about the drum issue though, do you have stock drums?
