Default crunching noise?

whenever i hit a dip (not a pothole) in the road, i get a crunching/scrunching/grnding noise from the passenger-rear corner. any ideas? i got this noise before and after the new rims. there's also an oscillating squeak coming from one of the tires. i think it's the same passenger-rear, but i'm not completely positive. i checked, and i don't need hubcentric rings, so it's not that. also, right after i got the rims on, i had a brief noise that sounded like my muffler was dragging (it's not). i've only had this noise about 2-3 times, and it lasts for maybe 10-15 seconds. help

Did you check the brake assembly on that wheel?

wheel bearings would be my first guess. Followed by some form of suspension/swaybar bushing mishap.
