Default 2002 ford escape xlt

Hello, I am having trouble figuring out my issue here. Maybe someone can help. I have replaced wheel bearings on both sides in front, even new hub assembly. I have also replaced the cv axle on both sides. I have rotated my wheels, I still have a loud humming or grinding noise on the driver side front. I am at a loss here.

Check if the wheel weights on the rim are hitting the caliper. There is minimum clearance between the front calipers and rims so you cannot use sticky wheel weights.
Also check your brake backing plates are not hitting the rotor

Thanks a lot for your feedback. I will take a look at that
