Mysterious grinding noise from rear hub

[Speedy]

I have a mysterious grinding noise that comes from the driver side rear hub under hard cornering or basicly whenever weight is put on that wheel (i.e.-large bump, drastic dip in the road, etc...)

The issue is that it comes and goes depending on ride height and wheel offset.

I put my car together last year, I was tucking tire with 15x7+32 wheels, I had a grinding noise.

Raised the car to a 2-finger gap in December with the same wheels, no grinding noise.

Lowered the car back down with 15x6.5+40 wheels in April, no grinding noise.

I added 8mm spacers in June and now I have a grinding noise.

So the noise comes and goes with increased camber and a more aggressive wheel offset and everything down there is stationary besides the hub, brake rotor, wheel...all I can think of is that its the wheel bearing or maybe the dust shield.

I have a 1994 civic cx with 2000 ls rear disk.

thoughts?

Is it like a rotor grinding noise like when a load is put on the hub it it pulling the rotor into the outer /inner pad?

Idk I cant explain it...the one thing I noticed is it makes the noise with rotation, like whatever it is has high spots making loud points in the rotation

It sounds like a wheel bearing to me. You could get a stethoscope to listen for it while you have someone spin the wheel. If you can't tell check the opposite side and compare the difference in the noise its making

Is it possible that the wheel itself is rubbing the rear brake?

Probably wheel bearing, and those are NOT fun to do.

Yeah that def could be with different offset wheels it loads the bearing differently so that could be it.

How i a rear wheel bearing hard to do? Definitely a bolt on procedure.

remove bolts and use a slide hammer?
