Default Rear rubbing and vibration

ok this is killing me, but im having a huge rattle/vibration coming from the right rear, i ripped apart my interior and nothing is loose or could cause it, but it does...

also, it sounds and feels like my right rear wheel is rubbing...i have no clue why, im running 185/60/14 tires and it just started to happen. anyone have any clues? shocks are kyb agx, tried it on all settings still the same. has new RTA bushings, new Rear LCAs as well...

also if i shake my steering wheel when im driving, i can make the noise get louder and softer with each shake...

anyone have any clue what this could be?

wheel bearing maybe?

You guessed it, wheel bearing or trailing arm bushing.

Jack the back end up and spin the wheel, or just give it a tug if it has play its the wheel bearing. Wheel bearings tend to make a gang of noise when going over bumps, like driveways and speedbumps. Does it do this?

this will either be really right or really wrong, but make sure your damn exhaust isn't vibrating against the bottom of your car.

I would jack the rear up and see if there is any play with the the rim/tire.

thats how it was for me for about a year... it broke off right before the muffler attached to the midpipe...dam that thing sounded horrible for a year, but oh well, i rather do my bushings, suspension/steering and maintance than worry about a shitty exhaust...
