Agreed this is most likely a wheel bearing. There must be something about the loading of the right rear on these cars - I had to change mine about a month ago.

You can DIY if you purchase the special tool for bearing extraction that Pelican Parts sells. Look around on these boards, and you'll find a really good explanation of how to to do it with this tool, complete with photos. You still better be pretty good at wrenching, or you should not attempt IMHO.

If you are planning to keep your car a long time, and think you can amortize the tool cost over a couple of bearing changes then it is well worth it.
