Default Have this rumbling sound.

Hello guys...
I have a 1994 Corvette which I recently had a transmission rebuilt. After getting it done I have this rumbling/vibration which to me sounds like it is coming from the back wheel (passenger side). I took it back to the transmission shop and they took down the drive shaft and they looked at all the u-joints and to them everything is fine. I took it to 2 other places and they looked at the u-joints and they can't seem to find what the problem is. They think it's a u-joint but they can't specify which one. They all say u-joints are fine. I'm thinking maybe it could be the wheel bearings? Please help...

Very easily could be a wheel bearing. Jack up that corner and try to rock the wheel inside and out along both axis. It should have virtually no play.
