Default mouse in my rearend

i have a mouse sounding squeak coming from my right side of my rear end /axle shaft area. I thought it was rear disc brake issues at 1st but its not. Is it a u-joint on my right side axle shaft maybe?? it does tend to stop when i hit the brake... I replaced the rear brakes and it didnt change the squeak..thanks all

Thought I had strayed over into Off Topic.

Check the U joints. That's my bet.
