Squeaking sound coming from rear wheel

02 GT. I don't know if I can technically call it a "squeak", but it has something to do with the rear driver side wheel. With every rotation of the wheel, I can hear a sound, like a bearing is out or something. At first I thought it was a warped brake rotor, so I changed pads and rotors on the rear of the car, but the sound is still there.

Anyone have any ideas? Bad hub maybe?
 


Could be a wheel bearing, a wheel out of balance, bad alignment, tire rubbing on a trailing arm...

I would jack the car up and see if I can replicate the sound so that you can diagnose it that way.
 
So I think I may have narrowed down my search a little bit. Decided to put engage the parking brake today, and then disengage it. Well, to my amazement, the squeek disappeared for a couple minutes, but then it started back up again. I stopped, but the parking brake on again, took it off again, and once again, the sound was gone for a couple minutes, but it comes right back.

So what do you guys think, something wrong with my parking brake?
 
i had the same problem with my regal, you just have to back off the e brake, its inside the rear brake rotor, works just like old drum brakes, turn the star wheel till it no longer makes noise.
