im experiencing some weird noises comming from the passenger side rear wheel area. When I get on the highway, accelerate say goin between 70 - 80, I hear this hummin noise that comes from the rear area, like somthins shakin, it gradually fades away. I also noticed the past few weeks that the same wheel (passenger rear) had ALOT of brake dust, i have black wheels but they were brown and the lip was black. Same now, just washed it 2 days ago and now that rim is filthy while the others are nice and clean. does this have to do with my brakes? Im soo lost on what it could be..any help would be appreciated

that much brake dust should not build up on your wheels that quickly, especially on the rear wheels. I would take the rear brakes apart and check if your caliper is stuck or if anything is wearing in an odd fashion. The rear brakes are pretty easy, and you can get the right tools for free at your local autoparts store.

Because of the humming noise, I'd check the bearing for that wheel also.
Must be that jumbly-wumbly thing happening again.

just like you would check on a front wheel, see if the wheel moves when pushing and pulling at 12 and 6

another thing about the front, the front passenger side is still shaking really badly, upon replacing the damaged CV axle, it still shakes and i'm hearing metal to metal noise..what could it be now? My rims arent damaged, tire runout is fine, new LCA's, and new sway bars..i honestly am growing tired of this issue  any suggestions? I also hear weird noises when im turning right, weird steering noises..
