Default Hub/spindle sort of grinds... wheel bearing ?

Took some Si knuckles as a trade and well the hubs/spindle have sort of a "grind&scratch" to them as in they don't spin super smoothly, I know the car they came off no howling noise when driving but it kind of bothers me. They have brand new OEM Honda ball joints that's why I took them figure I can sell em, as my integra's knuckles are getting new RCA's(roll center adjusters), wheel bearings, Driveshaft shop hubs w/extended studs thus I won't get them back for a while.

Does sound like the wheel bearings are starting to go. They should spin somewhat freely without any noise or restriction.

I might replace them and keep them as spares never hurts to have.

Thats what I would do, just when you find time to replace the bearings than do so.
