Bad noise

[jturnbull]

so i was driving to the store and as i pulled into the parking lot a weird nosie started coming from the rear driverside wheel it only makes a sound when i go slower and it doesnt sound to good

Can you give us some more detail. Can you describe the sound? Does the sound occur when you step on the brakes?

Be more specific because right now it could be many things.

its a loud screatching it makes a noise when im just starting off and when i push down on the trunk it makes the noise sometimes buts the suspension appears to be fine im thinking it could be a wheel bearing

Well here is two ways you can tell that it might be a bad wheel bearing.
1. Increase in road noise
2. Jack the car up and spin the wheel. If you hear scratching then its the wheel bearing.

I am having 2 rear ones done on Monday.

The miracle of searching. lol Read up and then decide if you want to tackle the job yourself.

Could it be an unbalanced driveshaft? or a rear differential issue?
