Wicked wheel problems

I have a '96 2.2L Sunfire that is just about on it's last legs. There is a wicked sounding vibration or rubbing coming from the front drivers side wheel. It is bad enough when going straight but it gets even worse when turning. I have replaced the bearing in this wheel twice and it has new brakes. Could this be the bearing again? Any help would be appreciated.

what about the axle, did you ever replace that? they wear out, I'm on my second set for the 95.

ive put 7 wheel bearing assemblys(3onleft/4onright) on my 98 z24,and they are always installed correctly,they just start to hum/vibrate. i think my problem is that i hav always had oversized aftermarket wheels,and cornering 25mph curves at 95mph dont help either haha.but i also agree with hotbug,maybe check yur axles/cv joints
