px2 ranger front end grinding.

Hey folks , recently i blew the front passenger side CV.
I replaced the CV with a second hand one , but doing a test drive there was this grinding noise that started at approx 90kph. and weird clicking going over bumps.
Thinking it was a bad CV , I bought a new one, the clicking is gone but the grinding remains.
It sounds like it could be a dry bearing...i have checked for movement but there is none and slowly spinning the wheel it feels smooth.
its not the wheel alignment , cause thats been done. I will be replacing the bearing asap just as a precaution but if that doesn't cure it then i am out of solutions.

So i thought i would check in here and ask if anyone has an idea of what it can be.

Thank you :) my girl has 116,000 klm on her.
I rechecked everything yesterday, the bearing has no play and is not getting hot driving. All good so far.
The Brake caliper is a good answer , it could also be a bad tire. It was the spare and could simply be hard.
I will take her for a more extended run this morning and i might lower the psi somewhat to give the spare a good warm up.
Fingers crossed this solves or reduces the effect.
