Stock Rear Question- Growl Have not jacked up the car yet but I have heard this noise in friends cars previously and im just trying to get some opinions.
When driving, accelerating or coasting it makes a growl noise. Goes away when turning sharp. Almost sounds like the rear caliper is hung up and rubbing the rotor. It is not a pulsating sound and I havent tried it in reverse if that matters. I have read several threads on this but no symptoms close to mine so far.
When applying the brakes it does not change a thing so thats why I think it is not brake related but possibly axle bearings. I hear it more from the passenger tire, new tires on the car. I bought the car just recently and the only time I dont hear it is at a dead stop or when im doing 75+
2000 WS6 if it matters to anyone.
All help is appreciated

Based on the description,axle bearings or carrier bearings.
-axle bearing(s),if an axle bearing is going/gone,it'll typically deteriorate the axles' surface where the bearing rides against.
-carrier bearing(s),upon turns(let's say left hand),the driver side axle is trying to be pulled out and the c-clip pulls the carrier harder into the carrier bearing with the opposite effect on the passenger side carrier bearing.
