so i just pulled both the rear wheels off and inspected the tires they seem fine and i have ruled them out as the cause, checked all 4 cv boots and other than some very small surface cracks they are not leaking and look ok-gave both a side to side tug between the boots nice smooth movement with no clunks-i didnt go as far ast to remove the calipers and rotors but i did turn the whole assemblies by hand there is resistance on both sides and a metallic dragging sound from both-what i did notice on both sides is the outer brake pads were extremely close to, if not touching the rotors-is that normal? but from what i saw i now believe it is a wheel bearing i just cant duplicate the noise just turning the hubs by hand-gonna take it to the mechanic after the holidays, so tired of the noise
