Hub,front drivers side is grinding

I have a may of,95 f-150 302 4x4 with rear wheel abs.
Something is grinding in the hub. i took it apart, appears to be a lot of metal shavings. I dont see anything out of the ordinary. Bearings look good.
Any ideas?

Is it a grinding or a squeal?

take the hub assembly appart (this is all snap rings) and look and any any all splines ans surfaces...ive heard wheel bearings grinding before, did you completely clean the bearings before you inspected them? grease can hid alot of things....also what do the shavings look like they are from like cast or polished surface ect ect.? pics would be a big help...if your hub is grinding make damn sure you get it fixed right or you could have some major issues not to mention lawsuits...
