Default bad grinding noise coming from rear?

Everytime I drive the car in the morning, the sound doesn't seem too bad. I noticed when its hot outside, my car makes a bad metal on metal grinding noise. It grinds with every revolution of the wheel. It seems to be coming from the rear passenger side. I jacked up the car and there are no marks what so ever in the rotors or wheel well. There is also someplay when I push in the sides of the wheels. (Similar motion to the front wheels when they steer left and right) it makes a slight squeak that sounds similar, just not as bad.

I'm assuming my wheel bearing is bad. Anyone else ever have this annoying problem?

Default

sounds similar to when my wheel bearing was going bad.
the first repair shop told me to drive it and everything was fine.
The bearing wore into the hub and it also had to be replaced.
