Default Grindin when turning right

Ok guys im trying to trace down a grinding noise when turning right on my 2000 dodge 2500 4x4 with a cummins, its dana 60 front and dana 80 rear, the noise can only be heard when in a turn at 20mph or higher and ONLY when in right turn. Have checked ball joints they are good, axel u joints are good, brakes are good, replaced left hub assy. Can not recreate it at home lifted it only does it when driving. Any ideas of what else to check before throwing parts at it

Left side bearing. Turning right unloads the right side, puts more weight on the left side.

Did you torque the axle nut to spec? Do you ONLY hear the noise when turning right? Nothing when turning left? Not as simple as the dust shield rubbing on the rotor is it?
