When driving above 50mph there is a rattling noise coming from the aft right side of the car. Could this be a wheel bearing?

Raise car, put on stands, grasp tire and push/pull both horizontally and vertically, any movement would indicate a hub bearing, ball joint, control arm bushing.

Also inspect the exhaust, looking for any loose or missing hangers.
