Bad Rotor?

Perhaps. But I get no vibration when going straight or when turning Left. It's only when turning Right. Although the faint squeaking sound can be heard no matter what, even when driving perfectly straight. I'm also obviously no expert, but if it were the wheel bearing, wouldn't the vibration be more consistent?

Actually, I think your right. Pulled the following from: Symptoms of Worn Wheel Hub Bearing | Wheel Bearing Warehouse

Here are some indicators of a worn wheel hub bearing or other wheel-end damage:

Grinding when the vehicle is in motion.
Typically, this means there is mechanical damage in a wheel-end system. Related to a bearing, it means a loss of integrity such as roller or raceway damage. The noise is normally heard when turning or when there is a shift in load.

Humming, rumbling or growling.
These noises are normally associated with tire, electrical or drivetrain components. If bearing-related, the noise or vibration is present when driving in a straight line, but intensifies when turning the steering wheel slightly to the left or right. Typically, the side opposite the rumbling is the defective side.
