front end grinding noise comes and goes.

Have 2005 excursion. Just did ball joints , wheel bearings all of them, axle joints and seals.Also warn manual hubs. Have a intermittent scraping grinding noise sounds like driver but could be both front.4wd works fine in high or low, no vibration just this annoying noise. took brakes apart and no funny wear or foreign object in dust shield. Any help would be appreciated really baffled at this point. Thanks

Hard to say. Could be a few things. Dust shield too close to rotor, excessive play in wheel bearing, defective locking hub. If only happens with hubs locked could be lower ball joint shank too close to axle shaft.
