Could be a wheel bearing on the rear. Jack up the rear and see if there is anyplay i the side to side movement of the wheel.

yes but all u said is it sounds different. You could have some of the balls missing. and trust me it dos happen. We had a so called mechanic bring his car to us and the rear wheel was wobbling you wuld have thought i was about to fall off! No exageration at all! The wheel bearing was ompletely fooked in everyway.
