Default Front bad bearing like sound????

Hello. I have a 2006 dodge Dakota rwd 3.7 v6 with 55xxx. When I purchased this truck it had some problems. I have put new tires, upper and lower ball joint on the right side, new rack and pinion, new tie rods and an ailgnment. After all that a new noise came about. Mainly right after I changed the rack and pinion. It sounds like the front driver side grinding/roar. Starts at about 35-45 and gets louder with increase speed. So I replaced the wheel bearing hub. That didn't fix it. So I thought maybe a wrapped rotor. Replaced that. Didn't fixed it. Any idea what the problem could be?

Thanks,
J

It has brand new tires with less than 3000 miles. I rotated them. That didn't get rid of the sound. Any other ideas??

Thanks

Did you replace the brake pads or just the rotor? Is the caliper sticking?

Turns out it was the opposite side wheel bearing too. Problem solved
