Check the wheel bearings in that right rear.
Sad thing is they probably won't look worn or even feel gravelly, although there may be some play. When pressing in the new bearings make sure they go in dead square or they won't last long.

On vehicles with rear drum brakes, the parking brake causes the rear brake shoe on either side to press against the brake drum and prevent it from turning. Either configuration in on the rear wheels.Usually the rear axle.
