Wheel Bearing Rubbing Noise

I recently changed by brake pads and discs on the front of my 95 300tdi.
The calipers where the Lockheed type.

After doing it I can hear a rubbing noise from the front which is louder when I corner. I thought at first it was just the new pads and discs rubbing, but due to the extra noise when cornering and the fact I've done 300 or so miles and it seems to be getting louder, I think it might be the front bearings.

I've lifted one wheel off the ground and it has a small amount of "wobble" maybe 5-10mm at the extremes.

Is it likely that removing and refitting the bearings when changing the discs could have buggered them both up??

My plan is to buy a 2 wheel bearing kits such as:

Wheel Bearing Kit 90/110 94- (OEM) DA2381G Island 4x4 - Specialists in Land Rover and Range Rover Parts and accessories for all models. UK and worldwide mail order.

and pay more for the OEM quality rather than Britpart copies. Before I fork out another £50, does anyone have any thoughts on other possible causes?

why buy the kits, did you use a chisel on the nuts or summat.

All you need is a pair of bearings, seal, and the locktab washer.
use a big tub O grease, its cheaper, and you should have some anyway, the flangebolts just need some threadlock if you really want, dustcap should be ok, as should the circlip, and just use silicon instead of the gasket, more watertight.

£20 delivered should see you a pair of timken bearings with oem seal, and mebe 1.50 for a set of 4 lockwashers.

Okay, bearings where all replaced today...the noise is still there.

Any other thoughts on what it might be? I've given everything a wiggle and it alls seems tight. I'm at a bit of a loss now. Also the fact it started after the pad and discs where changed, I was hoping its just them wearing in, but the noise on cornering seems to lead me away from that trail of thought.

Disc mud shield?

Nope, can't see anything contacting the disc. Have had the callipers off this morning and worked the pistons in and out a few times to ensure they are free. I'm thinking its just taking a while to run them in...although I don't think it's normal!

Anyone else replaced both and experienced noise??

obviously some things wrong ,how did you adjust wheel bearing

When I first did it, I left them too loose. So I replaced them with new ones to ensure they are okay.

For the new ones I used a wheel nut spanner, tightened right up, backed off then hand tightened. Read several ways of doing it and this seemed like the best one for me as my torque wrench and box spanner don't connect! Tightened the second nut to the first quite hard to keep everything in place.

The noise is the same before and after bearing change, so I'm not sure it's them.
