Squeaking From Rear

Squeaking From Rear
This is pretty weird, i took my car to a shop a few months ago during winter because it was making a loud squeaking noise from the rear when i was driving. Its always the same, after about 5 minutes of driving the noise will go away. I live in washington, where it rains all winter. It got sunny for a while, and the sound went away. then it started raining again, and the noise came back. when i took it to the shop, they put it on the lift, and said it wouldn't make the noise when it was on the lift. So, i've been driving the car and its always the same. Squeaking from the rear on rainy days, no noise on dry days. If it means anything, i had my rear driver side wheel bearing changed about 6 months ago, and the sound seems to be coming from the rear passenger side, but they said the passenger side wheel bearing is good. anyone ever had this issue? im stuck.

Anyone know what this could be? I got the same issue, kindve sounds like brake pad indicator grinding/squeaking, doesn't sound like a wheel bearing. Noise is more audible when I'm on the throttle.

While the car is on the ground, have you or someone compress the rear end suspension. If it squeaks, then it's most likely the rear lower ball joint contacting the brake dust cover. Bend the lower cover around and continue compressing the suspension and see if the noise goes away. I had the same issue when I replace my rear wheel bearing. I accidently bent the dust cover in the process.
