Whenever I'm driving I get a roational squeaking noise coming from my passenger side rear wheel area. Its a repetitive and consistent squeak as the wheel turns at any speed.(The only time I dont hear it is when road noise is too loud to hear it at high speeds)
Even while braking it makes the same noise as when Im driving.When I stop quickly it will make a quick high pitch squeak in that area. (my brakes are all stock equipment by the way.)
I took the car to the shop and they took the brakes apart and said the pads and rotors looked good. Any ideas to what could be causing this? Thanks!

I have something similar on my rear driver's side wheel.
Its not constant either. At first I thought that it was a wheel bearing (which it could still be), but some times it sounds more like a metallic ticking/reverberating. My brother "flicked" the metal clip that the brake pads ride in and it sounded kinda like it (drag your fingernail off it in a snapping motion and it twangs). I rotated the disk slowly to look for contact but didnt see any, but I did hear a "tick/twang" prety much in the same place each revolution. The rust on the disk did get close to the clip though so I scrapped at the rust along the edge of the disk with a screwdriver quickly (I had to finish up quick and leave) to remove loose rust. I think I'm gonna get 4 new disks (the front are warpped anyway) to see if there is any change.
BTW,
Original rotors and 36K miles.
