Default Rear end squeel when turning

Ok, so its been doing it for the past few days but it was real bad last night. Whenever I make a left turn, my rearend squeals really loud. Only when I make a left, not a right. If i come to a dead stop and go accelerating around the corner, it doesnt do it, at least I can't get it to do it. But when I coast around a corner or use the breaks, its there.
It sounds like a metal rubbing/scrapping or something to that effect.
Any ideas?

I took a video of the noise. I kind of think its the Axle bearing. Anyone agree or have a different thought? Im taking it up to a shop tomorrow to have it looked at.

Edit - Well, im thinking its the axle bearing now like 95% sure. Two buddys think its that and Ive only found one other post with the same situation as Im in, and it was most likely that too.

I took it up to my friends car shop today -- Back left break was installed improperly, DOH! And some of the nuts were stripped. All fixed now :-D

Jack it up and check for play in the wheel. You should have no more than an 1/8 of an inch in and out and no up and down play.

Check your rotors and caliper brackets for signs of scapping.

Could be a differential problem. Drain fluid and inspect for wear/cracks.

Lastly the em. brake shoe could be doing this.
