Bad Squeak

There’s a really bad squeak that sounds like it’s coming from my rear passenger wheel. I checked the brakes and it’s not it. When I accelerate it gets louder, when I let off the throttle it quiets down. When I brake it gets louder.

Could it be wheel bearing? Although I don’t hear grinding.

You may have a wear indicator on your brake pads. Those will squeal like hell. Could be a rock or debris wedged between the pad and rotor as well. I would start with pulling the rear wheels and giving the brakes a thorough check. Before you break the lug nuts loose give it a spin and check that the flanges aren't bent too.

Edit: check your dust shields as well. If they get bent into the rotor some of them will squeal real bad.
