Help, wheel bearing brain fart!!!!!!

I just replaced both of my front hubs. It started with the left making the same noise when on a right turn. What is happening is you have play in the bearing and when you turn to the right the rotor bottom is contacting the metal inside guard. It took about 2 hours a piece if you have everything you need. I had to get a 250lb torque wrench for the caliper bolts (221ft lbs) and drive shaft bolt (177ft lb). Not a bad job just takes some time. When I finished the left, I check the right and was starting to get loose, so I replaced it. The first I purchased at NAPA for $252 + tax. The second I had some time so I ordered from Rock Auto at $191 delivered to my door. Hope they last longer than $58k You will need a 15mm, 13/16 for caliper bolts and 35mm for drive axle nut. Use impacts sockets, my regular 15mm cracked with torquing to 133lbs. Good luck only took 1 Corona per side. I also jacked up both sides so I could turn the wheel by hand to get at the bolts easier.

when driving, if u move the steering wheel to the right and it makes more noise then its the left wheel bearing, works on any vehicle. also like ob_1jr said they do come loose, but it is possible to make noise without it being loose.
