Default squeak and click

I have a quite squeak sound that happens while I drive, I know its not the brakes and it only happens while I drive, not loud at all, I can only hear top up radio off. It is slow like one every second or two. Im thinking maybe a wheel bearing. I also have a clicking sound that sounds like its coming from the diff, its not repetative it only happens when I reversing out of my driveway and I start driving forward(1click only) sometime I hear during a normal shift or in turns occasionally.
any thoughts

Could be a wheel bearing. I had mine replaced. Search around and there is a great description of the sound.

The clicking is the splines and is normal. Though if you replace the wheel bearing and hub you will have NEW splines on one side as such might help with the clicking on that side. Did with me.

I had the same scratchy sound + clicking rear. Both got progressively worse until it clicked and scratched everywhere. Just had the wheel bearing + hub nut replaced and its good as new.

My click was fixed by the dealer about 3-4 months ago. They did not replace the bearing and just today it got really loud. I havent driven the car in like 2 weeks and all of a sudden its back and louder than before. I am dropping the car off in the morning and hopefully its the bearing. If its the diff than I am going to have it towed back to my place and buy a new car. I have nor the patience or time to deal with this. What fun this is going to be..
