    Long story short, I just replaced the front bearings (koyo) on my rig since one of them went bad. Took the spindles off and brought them to a machine shop to have them pressed out and in. I put eveetevery back together and i hear a grind noise at low speed (could be happening at high speed but it's much more noticeable at low speed). The grinding noise stops whenever I make a right hand turn and I feel is little louder when I make a left hand turn. I checked to make sure the dust sheish isn't rubbing. It also seems like the grinding noise only happens when the wheel is in a specific part of it's rotation, not constant like a break pad wear indicator would be. Also, the noise does not go away when I put in in 4wd. The front end is basically new as and I'm running rebuild cvj axles.

    Any ideas? I want to say something is up with the wheel bearing. Maybe the shop pressed it in incorrectly somehow? I don't want to call them out unless I'm pretty sure that Is the csse.
    Thank you
