Default Noise when I turn and slow down

Not sure what's wrong with my car. It makes a noise like a grinding or humming noise. Thought it was bad wheel bearing but changed it out and still making noise. If anyone can help me out, that be great. Also checked my steering fuild and its good. Thanks

Our cars have electric power steering with no fluid, so what you say makes no sense.

First thing is to jack her up, start moving the wheel up and down back and forth. Spin the wheels. A humming is bearings. Did you get a reputable hub? Did you replace both hubs? It's advised, not mandatory, to change both hubs.

Is the noise coming from the front or rear of the car? Do you have an RWD or AWD model? Lowered or on stock supsension?

I sounded like it was coming from the front but i guess i was wrong because still hearing the noise. I have rwd and on stock suspensions. Rwd dont have front driveshaft so it cant be that also. Maybe its the rear bearings? Since its rwd, means the weight is more in the rear correct meaning the parts would wear out faster than the front? So any input or help would be great because i dont wanna replace something that isnt anything wrong with it which is wasting my money that i dont have.

Honestly, you need to pin-point where the sound is coming from. From there we can start making better educated guesses.

06 AWD with 146K. I can hear the same sound in right front for about two years w no leaks.It is your CV joint.It will click if you do some heavy turning.I see rebuilt CV"s on ebay for about 200 bucks.
