General Maintenance & Repairs - Strange noise from back right wheel?

When I am driving along sometimes I can hear this obnoxious squeaking noise from my back right wheel..:|

Wheel bearing? Carrier bearing? Shock mount?

I think I am gonna take off my wheel and see if anything looks messed up this weekend.

I ran into a similar issue with my driver side rear. It ended up being a worn down C-Clip on the end of the axle. The surface on the rear diff unit also was worn slightly. This allows the axle to push out causing the rotor to push on the caliper mount bracket. I bought new C-Clips and place a few custom shims in their and I haven't had any problems for about 20k miles.

I will look into this as well, appreciate the help.

Mine was the struts for the hatch.

Just check the surface of the rotor where the caliper bracket would make contact. If the bracket isn't rubbing then your rear would not be the problem. Is it a squeaking sound or shrieking sound like brakes?

I have a noise that comes from the right rear of the car and sounds like its a bearing rubbing/grinding slightly but has been doing it for thousands of miles. No failure yet so I dont know what it is. Would a fluid change shut it up?? I have had different wheels and tires on the car ==same noise and have put slotted rotors and pads on her and same noise so Ive eliminated those parts so it MUST be coming from the rearend. Any ideas out there..I guess it could be a axle bearing.
