C3 wheel issue help
Hi,
I'm new to the forum but need some help with my C3 75. My rear wheel when turned “sticks” at one point when I spin it. It spins freely until that one area. I thought it might be a warped rotor, but the car doesn’t shake when I brake- so another opinion was wheel bearings. I took it to a local garage and they said they didn’t find any issue! So I am at a loss - does this sound familiar to anyone? Any help with a diagnosis is much appreciated!

The rear wheels won't turn freely when the trailing arms are hanging down with the car jacked up.
The angle is too great on the U-joints.
Jack up the trailing arm and the wheel will turn.
