Default Bearing front driver

Need your help one more time.

So I thought I've solved the noise coming from my front driver wheels by removing the weight inside the wheel that was rubbing on the caliper. Noise came back today and even if the wheel doesn't have any play, when I spin it freely the driver side make more noise than on the passenger side.

I've found a few thread with similar symptom and no play in the bearing. What else could it be?

you might want to re-balance your tires if you are removing wheel weights. they need those!

And what is the sound? describe it

Hehe the wheels have been re-balanced

It's a grinding noise that's not constant and will come and go. It will vary depending the speed of the wheel. I also feel it in the steering wheel. When I free spin the front wheels off the ground, driver side make a constant humm compare to the passenger side.
