front end issue(s)

when turning left a slow speed in idle. like pulling into driveway or parking space i heard this rubbing grinding noise. a friend told me prob. hub ***. so i replaced both about 2 weeks ago.i am also getting a steady shimmy in steering wheel. a few months back i replaced end links sway bar bushings shocks and just put new steering stabalizer in it over the weekend. any input would be great. thanks in advance.

Front left wheel bearing?
When you say hub replacement,do you mean the wheel bearing assy., or the 4 wd. locking hub?

Jack the front up and put it on jack stands, Have a friend turn the wheel back and fourth, look to see if it is touching anywhere.

This may be a stupid question but are you stuck in 4WD? In 4WD on dry pavement you will get resistance and what sounds like a grinding sound when making turns.

I have a dodge that when the brakes are hot the front left caliper will hang up causing a shimmie? Had a suburban with warped roters acted like a stuck rotor? (bad) Funny the wife drove both.
