passanger side rear tire noise

on my 2000 SE Im getting a noise from the passanger side rear. It is most prominant at about 45 mph. Ive rotated the tires and that didnt change a thing. I inspected and repacted the bearing still no change. any suggestions. I know the next logical step is to replace bearings and races but i figured id put it out for suggestions. I dont think its the rotor because the car stops fine and has no chatter. listen im not into mods and enjoy the stock SE. I read the posts here everyday and enjoy them yet the few times ive asked a STOCK question i get no response.......Thanks

If you rotated your tires and the noise stayed put, then your bearing is probably causing it. Sometimes just a visual inspection with your eye doesn't pick up the tiny imperfections that can make a bearing become loud.

What kind of noise? A thunking sort of sound, like a box rattling around?

Got that too.

sounds kind of like ruun ruun ruun. If you shift the steering wheel from left to right(this will momentarilly make the noise stop usually) it still makes the noise. its most prominant at 45 mph.

p.s got the same color as you totally stock though
