Default Whine from Left Rear

I have a whine comming from the Left rear of my 02 z28 M6. It increases with speed. The faster I got the louder it gets. It is not the gears as i just had them replaced and they were whining before. The rear is now quiet. The shop replaced all the bearings in the rear including the axel bearings. I dont know what else it could be. My guess is something to do with the wheel or brake. Maybe the wheel bearing.

Any help appreciated

ya i used to work at hall chrysler and jeep as a tech...there are quit a bit of possibilties like the above post it could be the wheel bearings, it could be a hub assembly to test the wheel bearing cruise at a resonable speed and swerve from the left to the right and from the right to the left if it gets louder on one side you will then no which side it is on and where to start.....but it could be a hub assembly it could also very possibly be a tire.....hope my advice helped let me no what you find out
