Default Rear noise Diagnosis please.....

Okay, here is the symptoms and let me know what you all think before I start spending money.

Driving down the road at normal city speed I hear a rubbing noise coming from the left rear wheel area. When I use the brakes it goes away. When I use the E brake it does not go away. When I swerve side to side it goes away, but as soon as the rear suspension is unloaded it goes back to the noise again. I have an idea what it is, but just want some confirmation. Brakes appear normal, but well used. E brake does work. U-joints changed out 6 months ago when D36 was swapped for the D44 unit.
