When i drove under 30 mph i can hear a squeaking/spinning sound coming from my rear right wheel. im assuming its the wheel bearing. if not what else could it be?

Might be the mount for the damper heading west. Put your hand on the top of the damper in the trunk and bounce the car. Any excessive movement may indicate a problem.

Does it stop if you lightly drag the brake? If so, it's likely a caliper not disengaging all the way. This would be my first guess.

Does it change if you are cornering? Then I'd suspect wheel bearing.

The shock is also a good call, I've heard that squeak before too.

Another thing a sticking caliper will do is wear one pad. It could be down the warning "squeeler".

Check the e-brake shoes?
