My bet would be Axel nut torque also, Bearing would squeal more frequently. Brake caliper hanging up is also a possibility. Fluid is not the answer.

Try retorqueing to the new specification. Do a search on axle nut to find it (probably stickied in UTH as well).

It may be hard to actually feel if it's hanging up because it could be random or be worst when hot. I would look for uneven pad wear between one side of the car or the other and look for excessive or uneven pad wear inboard verses outboard. Could jack it up and try to free spin the wheel after a spirited run. Soultion is to either rebuild the caliper or at least disassemble and clean/pollish the travel surfaces.

Are you sure its coming from the wheel/brake area and not the suspension? Also check your spare tire to make sure its down tight.
