Noise from rear when turning
Good day all,
I have a 2004 Jeep Grand Cherokee 4.7L HO.Has about 97k miles on it. For sometime I have had a rubbing noise coming from the rear of the jeep when turning left or right at low speeds. I am unable to tell if it is right or left rear. What could be causing this? Wheel bearings or differential? I have checked the fluid levels in differential and oil visually looks clean. I have inspected the tires and wheel well for rub marks, none present. Could it be an issue with rear shocks? Any help would be appreciated...

Wheel bearing noise can be isolated by turning one way or the other and listening for the noise. A bad diff will make noise turning either way. If it makes noise turning left it's the right rear bearing and vice versa.
