Default Wheel bearing?

When i make left hand turns i get a grinding noise from the right rear tire, it just started happening yesterday on my way to work....but now it will continue after the turn for a little bit too, does this sound like the wheel bearing to you?

I'm having front issues, I replaced the drivers side, and tonight the passenger side, but I have not heard anything other then lots of squeaking so your problem seems to be in the rear definantly, and I would check them out soon cause if they seize in the tube then your kinda screwed.

my ujoints in the front were out to, but all they ever did was pop in turns and going from drive to reverse. he has a grinding sound so the ujoints are not it, and it is in the rear.

I forgot to mention to check your break shoes on the rear they may be gone and your hearing the shoe grind on the drum. I'm doing my rear bearings next week cause I know they are getting ready to go, to much stupid mud running and never doing the right maintenance, and now I'm paying for it.
