Squeaking/Grinding in right rear wheel
My right rear wheel, what seems to be the brake pads or the disc, is making a very inconsistent squeaking, sometimes it will start at 15 miles an hour, sometimes it won't start until 40, sometimes it will just start while going at a consistent pace, etc. it's sometimes a constant squeak, but there seems to a spot in the rotation where I can hear a very light scrape everytime the wheel goes around, before the bad constant sound starts.
About two months ago I was having a similar issue, but the squeak was only in one spot of the rotation. I thought it was the break pads, but checked them and they had more than 50% life left, and then I realized the hub was bent. So i replaced the hub assembly, put everything back together, and didn't hear anything for a while so i figured it was all good. But then this squeaking started happening sometimes (as of probably 2 weeks ago), and by now it's happening 90% of driving.
I don't have much knowledge about the troubleshooting/fixing cars, and before I took go taking things apart, I thought I'd ask to see if anyone had a simple explanation for this.

If i brought the car to the dealer would they charge any thing if it ended up not being the bearings ?

Re: Squeaking/Grinding in right rear wheel
I just drove the car an hour ago,
and now that you mention it, bearing issues would make a lot of sense.
Do you know if there is any safety issue with driving until I get it fixed?

if it is the bearing they shouldnt charge you as long as the recall is open.
