Default bad vibrations

so it started with just a little vibrations that turned into the whole car rattling, its coming from the passenger side rear. also it is extremely loud inside the car, so loud i've been asked if i put in an exhaust in the car. i got it all alined and new tires all the way around and the vibration and noise is still there. i've been told it could be the bearings. any one have this problem before or have any suggestion. please.

It could be wheel bearings, try jacking up the side that is causing the issue and shaking the tire to see if it moves abnormally.

I think both of my right bearings are shot....so is this the best way to test them----> Jack the wheel up and check for tire play at all angles?? This is how I've always done it, or is there a better way?

thanks for the advice. i tried ur suggestion and there was no wheel play at all. then i heard that it could be the gears in the "pumpkin". i guess im going to have to take it to the dealer itself, the diagnostic price is outrageously expensive, 112$ an hr.
