rear popping and scrubbing sounds
 
i have researched and think i probably have two separate problems, but just wanted to double check with you guys.

i have a popping sound when i switch from reverse/forward and vice versa, it also sometimes happens while braking. i think these are my pillowball bushings,

i am also getting a rhythmic scrubbing sound, that increases with speed. i am going to assume this is the rear bearings, it's not terrible, and most people don't notice it, but it is not a sound my car used to make.

anything else it could be? could the bearings be the cause of both noises(that would be nice)?

note: no changes to the rear suspension.

the popping/clunking definately sounds like pillow ball bushings. don't know about the other sound. could be wheel bearing or something.

yea i was pretty sure about the clunking

i was listening to it again last night. the scrubbing is more of a clicking sound. still think it is the rear bearings. it happens on throttle, off throttle, car turned off, if it's rolling it makes the sound.

jack the car up and spin the wheel by hand and see if you can hear/feel anything unusual.

makes sense. spin the wheels individually.
