Question Squeaky right rear

My right rear has a very loud squeak (sounds like the QE2 runnning aground) in it. It sounds like something that turns is binding up and squeaks like crazy, especially when backing up. It gets a little less noticable after I've driven a ways but there's still a little squeak just as I come to a stop and then as I start out slowly. Park it for a short time and it's back, though. I've pulled the wheel and cleaned the caliper/rotor/pads but I can't get it to make any noise at all when I've got it jacked up with the tire off, just when it has the weight of the car on the suspension. Any ideas??

RenoCYM,

You won't believe this, but spray some WD40 on your hood hinges!! I had a similiar squeak on the driver's rear side. My mechanic checked the car out and later told me it was the hinges!! Squeak has not returned.

It's not the hinges, I can hear it coming from the wheel well if I stick my head there while I rock the car back and forth.
