Can't get rid of this hum

I have been trying to attack a very annoying hum coming from the fron passenger side wheel on the 76 300D. I have replaced the draglink, tie rods, and the wheel bearings(passenger side), swapped the tires from the 280CE, nothing has stopped the noise. I was only able to replace the inner bearing race, i couldn't get the out race out, there just isn't much metal to beat on. The hum is worse on turns, and will almost go away when I the car is bouncing up and down like on a road with high and low spots. It seems to be worse on right turns(curves in the road, not like 90 degree turns).

I have no idea what it could be, does anyone has any suggestions. Thanks
