is this a wheel bearing sound?
listen carefully when i hit the stop sign near the end of video and right when i pull into my driveway.
i hear this noise when im coasting from 40 and down. It get louder and louder at lower speed. i think it there at higher speed but i can barely hear it.

trust me. when the wheel bearing gives out it will give out. there was no warnign for me at all lol. it just made a loud as BOOOM and that was it. and to top it off, i couldn't go any faster than what you posted in your vid. if i did go faster, then it would get REAAL loud.
i'm no mechanic btw, but when did that problem occur? i've had several mishaps with my drive train parts so i may help you out to diagnose this issue.
edit: ok i just watched your vid over and over and that's definately not what i think it is, which you stated as a wheel bearing. that's actually different from what i experienced in the past. i went through a rear diff, wheel bearing, transmission bearing in/out, and drive shaft. none of those parts sounded like your problem. i'm gonna go out on a limb on this one and say it's the braking system. since whenever you decelerate the problem persist.

It can knock, squeak, growl, and sound like sandpaper on wood. It depends on how it fails. Usually a squeak while turning in one direction, such as yours, is a bad bearing.
You definitely have a bad wheel bearing. You can probably jack that corner up and wiggle the wheel in and out.

Also, while you have the wheel up, give it a spin and see if you can hear anything.

I have just discovered this exact same issue on mine as of about 2-3 days ago.
The sounds from the video are identical to what I've been experiencing.
From searching, I've come up with these things to check:
I'll be heading over to a family member's garage here in an hour or so to pull things apart and see if any of the above matches while I change the motor, tranny, and diff oil. From a visual inspection, it looks like everything is in place with the rear suspension and is completely symmetrical with the other side.
Others suggest a bad wheel bearing, which is what I think it is, but won't know for sure until I get the car up on jackstands. I'll be keeping an eye on this thread, and will update it if I manage to somehow fix it.
I'm not sure if a seal or bearing somehow got sand in it from all the terrible winter weather DFW got the last two weeks, but there's friction somewhere, and I plan to find out wth is going on.

- Greased/adjusted hood latch
- Axle shaft small bearing shield on the end rusted/rubbing?
- Grease fr/rr sway bar bushings
- Tighten upper a-arm
- Make sure all spring spacers are removed
- Maybe grease door jams
- Tighten spare tire
