Popping, slight squeaking, and possibly wobblyness from rear driver side tire.

At least I think it's the rear drivers side. So I was just driving along, when POP POP POP POP, so I start to slow down, then the popping slows at the same time. I get out, check the tires, try to wobble them, everything feels good. So I try to go real slow, and there is a slight wobbly feeling, and a little squeak, from what feels like the rear driver side wheel.

The only thing I had done previously was park on a hill, properly with the parking break, and yes I took it off before moving again. I had also noticed last week some slight wobbling at high speed, but I threw that out as it was time for my tires to be rotated and balanced (which it is time to do anyway)

Any ideas? First thing I can think of off the top of my head is a bearing or a control arm..
 


Just checked all the lugnuts, all super tight and secure. I think I may have to jack each corner up and feel for play in every tire.
 
in a few days i bet we see the i lost a back wheel post. ive seen this happen 2 times on the board, bad hub fails, takes the wheel off, f's up the car body and the car behind you some times.

jack the car up and start pushing and pulling the wheel around.
 


Wheel hub and bearing are good. Me and my neighbor think it is probably something going wrong with the emergency break. Will keep you all updated!
 
spin the tires jacked up, listen for the rub.

if its a wobble feeling, its not the e brake.

rotate your tires too, see if the wobble moves to the front of the car. tires have been known to just go bad and break a belt and egg a tire.
 
I have pulled on them to feel for wobble. I will try and spin them later today when I am back home. Tire won't fall off driving it, because I am not driving it till it is fixed...

Here is the update. I was able to drive it to my neighbors garage today and put it up on his lift. The hub checks out, lubed up the e brake cable just in case.
