I've searched extensively but haven't come across quite the same scenario. It goes like this:

I have a speed sensitive rubbing/worn-out-bearing kind of sound (ie: a deep rumble/rub sound that happens once every wheel rotation across all speeds). It increases when I steer right (load on left wheel) and mostly dissappears when I steer left (load removed from left wheel). Switching between 2H and 4AWD has no effect, IWEs have been tested and are fully disengaged when in 2H (what I'm in 99% of the time), a new wheel hub was installed and has even been moved to the other corner just to test (the sound did not move to the other corner), shifting transmission to N has no effect, throttle input (or lack of) has no effect, there is no rubbing on dust shields, rotors are new, tires are new and have been closely inspected/rotated (no noise migration).

I'm at a loss. idk what else would be speed sensitive other than bearing, tire, or IWE (all of which are known ok). Any thoughts?

IWEs have been confirmed working so none of that would be spinning in 2H (i mean, in theory i guess)
