Did you change the rims and tires to bigger size or is it stock wheels. I believed your car is all wheel drive, check the rear end transfer case, brakes pad rubbing against rotor, due to sticking caliper. inner tire wall rubbing against shock absorber, bent rim or the wheel bearing going out.

Rumbleing noise from drivers rear wheel. makes noise when I turn right but goes away when on smooth road or turning left. Nothing looks out of place. Suggestions?

Sounds like a bad wheel bearing. You should be able to jack up the rear wheels and spin them by hand. if you hear a grown or the wheels are loose than you likely have a bad bearing.

1999 Lexus RX300 left rear wheel has a rumbling noise sounds like cv joint or bearing its all wheel drive.

Spin that wheel by hand as fast as you can. If you can hear the noise coming from right behind the tire it's probably a wheel bearing.

How to identify source of rumbling noise when car is moving.

My daughter has a 2001 Focus with similar sound, problem.  Just drove it from Portland Oregon to Newport Oregon approx. 140 miles.  Hwy. 20 the route from I-5 to the coast has some pretty sharp corners.  There was this knot head behind me tailgating.  So,coming into the sharp corners I decided to accelerate hard through the corners to gain some distance away from the guy.  Well guess what?  45-50 mph into a 25 mph right hand corner and the noise totally stopped for a few seconds.  I did this again and the same thing...no noise! So, on the next left hand corner I powered into it. The noise increased.  I had the back seats down as well, carting a surf board, which allowed the noise level to be established that it was from the rear of the car.  With the seats up it was impossible to tell where the noise was coming from; But down clearly from the rear.  Now, going through those sharp corners, the right hand corner throws weight to the left front wheel and the right rear tire tends to lift releasing weight pressure on the bearing resulting in the no noise event.  Thus I am absolutely convinced that it is a bearing failure in the passenger side rear wheel. Quit by accident to have stumbled onto this today...amazing!  Now, Looking for directions on how to replace the bearing which is how I stumbled onto this post.  Have a good one!!!

2000 s10 clunking sound from rear end

Sounds to me like a wheel bearing is going out, get the wheel checked out by a mechanic, and see if that is the problem, but it sounds to me like a bearing issue.
