I have a sound like something is rubbing on the right rear tire at speed. It is not related to the engine - it changes with the speed of the car, not the RPM's. At 40 MPH you can hear it pretty good and the pitch gets higher as the speed increases. The tires are OK - no metal showing thru the rubber. There is nothing I can see that would be rubbing on the wheel or tire or the ground. Any ideas? Thanks in advance for your help

Yep, check the rear bearings (might as well check all of them while you are at it) and you may need to repack them or possibly buy a new bearing set

probably a wheel bearing... but from personal experience, it might be from a water bottle stuck in between the caliper and rim. it was caused by someone in the family putting it in moms '05 taurus wagon and forgetting about it...lol (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chairfall.gif) (IMG:style_emoticons/default/chair.gif) (happened a week ago)

the easiest "check" is to see if the wheel (and lug bolts) get excessively hot....
