Ok so my wheel bearing went out. Wohoo. Replaced the whole hub. Not even 10 miles later, its grinding again. I dont think its the wheel beargin cause well, its brand new. Whenever I make a left or right turn it cause the rotor to be pressed against caliper. Its actually shaving metal off the rotor. Its beyond annoying. I dont konw what else to replace. I have replaced the stock kit with a wilwood kit, which is now ####ing ruined. Also replaced the hub and wheel bearing. What could be the problem? Tie rod end cause this? Ball joint? any help appreciated.

Car makes no noise in a straight line, just when making hard left or right turns.
 
Ok update. Well this whole time I forgot about one bolt on both sides. I dont know how the big 32mm nut got put out of site, but both sides have yet to have it on. I put the 32mm nut on each side. It stopped the rotor from griding against the actual caliper, but the SAME exact sound is happening when the wheel bearing went out. Its horrificly loud. This sound was not there with the axle nut off. When I put it on, bingo, annoying griding sound once again. Makes noise turning left right going straight, its just all around.
