Vehicle has accident history from PO; there was a collision repair in the right rear. Accident or perhaps substandard repair may have contributed to something wearing out earlier than normal. I'll give that side extra scrutiny.

I would say look at the right rear solely, and the other side extra or for comparison.


Maybe take it in for an alignment consultation, see what you need to replace before they can align?
How many miles since repair?
If you have a safe way to do so, jack up the right rear and see if there is any play. There should be zero except rotational. You can normally feel bad bearings by hand this way. I would be suspect of bearing, possibly caused by impact, poor alignment, or unseen/unrepaired existing damage.
