Default Squeaking from rear passenger...

As the title states, I've got a squeaking sound coming from my rear passenger side. I did a search and tried a few of the solutions, but I'm still having the issue. I checked the brake pads and they still have plenty of life on them. I tried shaking the tire to see if the bearing was going bad, but seems fine. I checked the bolts on that side to see if anything had loosened and that was ok.

So this is the issue I'm having. I get a rotational squeaking coming from the rear passenger side at slower speeds. It seems to get worse as the car warms up. It starts from no noise, to a noise only when stopping, to a noise whenever the car drops below 30mph. Above 30, I don't hear it or any sounds of issues at all. The sound is more pronounced slowing down vs speeding up. Any help/advice is appreciated.

Is it Wheel speed dependant?? Also is it high pitched or a whirring or what?

I'm getting this as well. At first I thought it was the brakes, so i took the calipers off, put on a new coating of brake quiet on the pads. I also took the pins out and re-greased them. It "seemed" to go away for like an hour or so but then it came back. When I do a left turn, I can hear the squeaking get faster. But when I do a right turn, the squeaking isn't audible.

Yes I have already searched this as well and redid the axle nut. I bought new nuts and did both sides as well as greased them.

yep, sounds like wheel bearing.

don't let it go too long and then go to the dragon, or it'll end up like this:




you won't necessarily have any play in the wheel with a bad, squeaky bearing. if you get play shaking it side to side, then it's REALLY bad.
