Rear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I'm driving, except when brake is applied.?

I have a front wheel drive Mitsubishi 380. No too long ago the rear left wheel hit a curb quite hard. The wheel itself survived but now there is a loud squeaking noise coming from the rear wheel. The noise gets quite loud and only lessens as I apply the brakes. Even while driving slowly the squeaking occurs. Also, if I havent driven the car overnight or for a few hours it takes a bit of time for the squeaking to start. I have had a full wheel alignment done and they could not see what was causing the noise. From what I know it's most likely a damaged wheel bearing that is causing the problem but can anyone else suggest what else it could be and how much roughly repair would cost? I have also have the brake pads changed as I thought it couldbe contributing to the squeaking recently but the noise it still there just as before.

it sounds like a bearing but could be the hub itself suggest you get the mechanic to look at it and give you a written estimate for the repairRear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I%26039;m driving, except when brake is applied.?
it could be a wheel bearing or you broke something on the shoes.Rear wheel took a hit and now squeaks quite loud when I%26039;m driving, except when brake is applied.?
Im afraid it is a wheel bearing, I have changed a front bearing by removing the hub assembly and removing the axle nut, then I had to take the hub to have the bearing pressed out, 2hours labor in a shop and a $40 bearing, roughly $220 if I had had it done in a shop
