On my 98 when I change gears from drive to reverse or just put it in gear or
vise versa I hear a noise coming from the area of my left rear rim (hub)
almost like plastic grinding sort of sounds like one of those Mexican noise
makers but more plasticky sounding and so I checked the lugs and they are
tight and every thing else feels tight..

So what do you guy's think???

TIA

C5s don't have U-joints.

U joint or wheel bearing..
Had a rear wheel bearing do that on my '94 and while it was out replaced
the 4 pack of u-joints also.

Are the Mexican noise makers you make reference to shaped like a bean?

I'd check that the sway bar is tight and that the ebrake assembly is
clear.
