Grinding noise, Bearing? Tires? Other?
Hey guys i'm new to the Honda world as i just bought an old 96 Accord EX. The brakes on it were in horribe condition and we replaced all pads and rotors and a front passenger side caliper. After test driving it, there's a grinding noise while driving that fades and goes away the further i turn the wheel left. It doesn't seem to pull to either side and there's some play in the steering wheel. The noise seems to be coming from the front and checking the passenger side wheel after driving it's a bit warmer than the others. My buddies did lube the bearings but maybe not good enough? Being that the caliper and all the parts were new perhaps there should be lubrication on caliper/pads/and rotor? Maybe the axle nut is not tight enough or too tight? The guy that sold it to me said he noticed the noise after he rotated the tires front to back ( the tires in general aren't in good condition so it's a suspect too) So my question is how to diagnose? Of course I'm hoping it's not a bearing but where should i go from here?
