Default Front end issues Still!

Front end whine/humming.
I have taken the truck out for drive to "load test" the front end. When driving at 60-80km, if I turn toward the right, which loads the left front tire the whine gets loader, if I turn to the left, which loads the right front tire the whine goes away.
So....
I replaced the left front Bearing/Hub assembly thinking it was the front left bearings, once finished I took it back out for a test drive. No change, still getting the same whining noise.
Whats next??? CV joint??? could this make the same noises??

Not helping with all this rain!! It's hard listening to the noise, and it's pissing down rain...

No other sounds at all, only the whining/humming.
New winter snow tires on it now, and the summer tires were new too, the whining was the same with both sets of tires on,,,
