rear wheel rubbing noise?
First off, I hope everyone enjoyed thir christmas.
The problem i am having is that when driving on the freeway, or anytime above 45-50 mph, i hear this rubbing noise comming from the right rear of the car. It sounds as if the tire is rubbing on something, but i have looked and it is not making contact with anything. I replaced my rear wheel bearings about a year ago, i hope thats not the problem again (last time i didn't hear this noise).
Any ideas on what this may be?

Its for sure not the tire, i lifted the car and put it in gear. It was still making the noise, I also switched back to stock tires and the noise is still there. Actually its getting louder little by little. I am going to order another wheel bearing and hub again tomarrow

Thanks for all the advice Rhino. It helped me find another problem I've been having.
Turns out the rear left caliper is seized, and applying slight pressure all the time. But this was not making the noise, as it was coming from the other side.
So now I get to order a new rear caliper, new rear pads (they are not worn evenly with the seized caliper), and the right side rear bearing and hub
I was going to install my vafc and tune it, looks like this will be pushed back a little. There goes my christmas money.
As for the orig noise it is progressively getting louder. hopefully i can find time next week to get all this stuff replaced.
