HUGE UPDATE. After 2 years of whines and now a loud rumble I took the car to yet another mechanic. This time he is a retired tire and suspension guy and he diagnosed the problem an old school way. We took the car out on a back road with a hill, he sat in the back seat and as we started down the hill I popped the car in neutral and shut off the engine. Bingo, right rear wheel bearing screaming away.

Thanks for all the comments, you guys are great! Mark
