Sounds exactly like mine and it was cv's. Make sure to get those checked out as that might be your issue. Both parts make similar noises back there. Are you doing the work yourself, or do you have a good indy shop who you trust?

A friend of mine owns an auto design company so usually I can take it there (car lifts/tools) and do the work myself. However in this case I'm currently sitting at NV Euro Motor which was recommended to me.

They tell me its the its the wheel bearing, suspension (which I don't have to change now but should look into it by next summer) as well they mentioned that my steering wheel vibrates (which I also noticed). They are checking the alignment now and say they will give me a prioritized list of what needs to be done so I can choose.
