Bad metal to metal sound coming from passenger side rear wheel each
time wheel rotates to a certain position. When brakes are applied the
noise stops. Comments or suggestions?

Does it have drum brakes or disk brakes on the rear?

The rotor is out of round, needs turning. Also, brake pad may not be
following the piston when it retracts, leaving it where it can rub the rotor
when the 'high' side of the rotor comes around. HTH, s

If the noise changes when you apply the brake, you likely
need new brake pads. If it has worn to the point they are
noisy, yopu will need to have the rotors turned or replaced
depending on the state of the damage.

The "squeaker" warning devices are touching. Time for a new set of
pads.
