Default wobbly grinding sound

When I get on it I hear this wobbly grinding sound coming from my rear passanger. The rotors, brakes, shocks, tires, are new. Could it be my bearings?

Yes, thats a very possible cause, If you are sure the noise is coming from there, and the brakes are all good then thats about all thats left. Jack the car up, put it in nuetral and grab the wheel see if you can shake it up and down if the bearings are real bad, you will feel and hear the axle bouncing around on the bearings.

Not that kind of noise, my original 10 bolt was as silent as a ninja compared to my 9 inch I have now. Generally the noise people refer to is gear whine,,If its a noise like he is describing thats a problem that needs to be addressed right away.

I know that was kind of brief but I took it to my buddies shop and they said theres nothing wrong, they claim that they checked my gears and bearings in the back but I still think somthing is wrong.

could be bearings or your rear end. sounds like more of a bearing problem. id check it out before more damage is done.
