Brake noise?

When driving, no matter the speed, my front drivers side wheel sounds like it is rubbing metal together going with the rotation of the wheel. I took the brakes apart and replaced the hardware and greased all the normal stuff but no change in noise. I noticed the other day when going about 25-30 mph, if you slightly turn left the noise goes away. This made me think maybe warped rotor. Any ideas before looking at it again?

Did you check the wheel bearing? Lift that wheel off the ground and put hands at 3oclock and 9 o'clock or 12 and 6. Push n pull opposite hands... if the wheel has slop look to see if any suspension parts move or if its the bearings. Spin the wheel and look for the noise.. have someone push on the brakes while your spinning the wheel.. see if the caliper and slide pins move freely.
