could be the brakes, the drive spindle for that hub, or an issue with the differential, those would be my best guesses.

Sometimes brakes will squeak. Slide pins need to be lubed with sil-glide or equivalent(available at any parts store) Pads need to be lubed as well especially the back of the pad and where the brake caliper makes contact with pads. Also, was the hub replaced with a Chinese aftermarket or an OEM Subaru hub? Lots of cheap parts out there I would only use an OEM hub as replacement.
