Rear hubs question

Do the rear hubs have a center nut to tighten like the front hubs? I ask because its been forever since Ive actually worked on them, my memory says its just 3 bolts and toss, but Im trying to figure out the grinding noise when turning as its driving me up the wall. Its the right rear doing it.... only happens while turning, finally had people in the car that said it was the right rear making the noise where I thought it was the front right.

No center nut because there are no CV axles in the rear.

Thanks everyone, I got thinking... yeah no axle in the rear but my wifes old Venture had the nut in the rear, then I remembered it was AWD... This grind when turning is aggravating the heck out of me, no other noise except when turning it makes a hell of a grind. I always thought it was the front but its the rear right doing it. Going to have both the rears replaced soon.

maybe the rear gate?
I have this crap on my Mazda,
as soon as I drive into a hole with all my might, a terrible screeching noise is heard.
I have been looking this Satan in the rear suspension for many years, bat I found the gate.
The car body "breathes", the body has its own play. When I drive one side into a hole, the conventionally rectangular opening of the gate momentarily turns into a parallelogram. At the same time, the gate itself remains "rectangular" and grinds its selvedge against the edges of the opening.
I don't know how to fix it. well, maybe - take a closer look at the gate mount and the lock.
