Grinding noise

I have a grinding noise that comes and goes on passenger wheel area. I decided it was my break pads so I replaced pads and had rotors turned everthing looked good, bled break calipers put tire on and turned tire it has slight drag no noise but when I test drove the car breaks work good but noise is still there does anybody have any ideas. thanks

Lower ball joint first off.

Next is upper and then the sway bar bushes.

Did you inspect the races of the wheel bearings ?

If you have resistance while spinning the tire = bad wheel bearing, that could well be your grinding noise.
