rear hub chirping?

Ok so this started about 3 weeks ago. While under slow acceleration in 1-2 i hear a chirping sound. Only happens under acceleration Ive wiggled the drive shaft for play in the u joints but it sounds like its coming from the driver rear tire. Could it be bad break pads? It doesn't do it in reverse ither. Any help would be great before I start tearing into her.

 

Ok so today I drove through a puddle and the noise stopped. It was on the way home so ill wait to see in the morning if the sound comes back.

 

ill try that. Thinking of it I was rolling into my garage at about 3am after work and for some dumb reason pulled the parking brake while still rolling even though i was moving extremely slow maybe thats the culprit? Maybe its an adjustment issue of the hand brake?

 

Pulling the drums is a good idea to inspect and clean. if nothing is found there i would be guessing maybe a universal joint. Wiggling the drive shaft while installed doesn't tell you much. Grease them up and see if it goes away for a while or pull out the shaft and inspect the u-joints.

 

Hey OP what did it end up being? Mines doing the same. Stopped for a day after a car wash too.
