79 Right Rear Noise
Hello,
My 79 is making a kind of screeching noise in the right rear.
Kind of like.... screech...screech...screech...
It can be heard while driving past parked cars, or past a building. Doesn't seem to change when I tap the brakes.
I have not started to take it apart yet, just trying to figure out what it could be.
Wheel Bearing?
U-joint?
Any help is appreciated.

Car has 72k miles on it. I'm not sure if the trailing arms have been rebuilt. I have owned it since 2007.
I will jack it up this week and give the tire a spin. At this point I think it's a wheel bearing. Although I"m not ruling out a bad caliper. I think if were that, the noise would change when I press the brakes. I will also check the e-brake to make sure that is not the issue either.
