Moaning noise from rear suspension!?

A couple of days ago, my car started to make some moaning type noise coming from the rear suspension at very low speeds/bumps. It does it when I'm pulling in/backing out of my driveway, going over speed bumps, slowing down, etc..

What could it be? I've only had these HT-Spec coils for 4-5 months now. I did get an alignment about a week ago, but I don't recall hearing any type of noise after. I did notice my rear driver side is higher than the left, but doubt that has something to do with it...

Any help will be appreciated.

Could be a wheel bearing starting to go bad. They're not the greatest on these cars. Jack the back of the car up and check for play in the bearings.

Since you mentioned it, how long do wheel bearings "typically" last? I know typically is not an exact measure, but is this a 50k mile part, 100k mile part, or 1-2x per car's lifetime part?

Thanks!
