Default Low speed squeak from rear wheel

Noticed a low speed squeak from my rear passenger on my Trailhawk.

Doesnt make noise when breaking but a constant noise at low speeds. Same noise my JK had when i had a bent axle shaft flange. Need to take tire off to check

Never had a non solid axle vehicle. Any ideas on what to check?

Might be a bearing....or check that shield to make sure it's not contacting the rotor.

Finally after the 3rd trip to the dealer they did a road test and finally figured out what it is.

Bad rear axle seal. Part will take a little bit to come in so hopefully that fixes it.

BTW I have not even had this thing off the pavement. Started with about 15k miles on it
