Help Strange sounds and negative camber

Ok so this has been goin on for about 4 months now. My driver side front wheel has some neg camber goin on(which has gotten worse with added weight of the b18) . also when i am driving there is a constant rubbing sound that matches the rpms, kinda sounds like a warped rotor which brings me to my next problem. When i stop it feels like i have a warped rotor steering wheel shakes and i can feel it pulsing in the pedal. I know you wanna say warped rotor. well when this first started i had my rotors checked and they were straight. what else could this be? wheel bearing? i know it isnt in the engine tranny or axles since they have all been changed with the swap.

I have stock suspension.

mine pulses too when im slowing down from high speeds but i think its cuz i bent my lower control arm when i slid off the road a few weeks ago at the the river. if not then its the axle cuz the rotors and brakes and everything are good

Does the sound go up as speed increases too, not just the rpm's? if so I would say wheel bearing. Mine started a humming sound that got louder and louder, eventually the bearing locked up.

Check you upper & lower control arms for movement. jack the car up and grabbing the wheel in both hands, see if there is movement. obviously the steering rack moving does not count
Maybe a control arm bolt has broken / fallen off? It would cause your wheel / tyre to rub and give more camber. Using the brake would mean the wheel could choose its own path, giving a shudder.
Check your ball joints too(they attach the hub to the control arms)

damn its soo hot i dont wanna go outside like 108 degrees with heat index. im gonna check it all 2moro when i can use my friends air conditioned garage that has a lift. do you think maybe it could be really bad bushings. i really wish i could explain better how it sounds. rub...rub...rub..rub..rub.rub.rubrubrubrub only in a certain point when the car is moving i guess i meant to say with the revolution of the wheels not the motor. thanks for the suggestions. also it has gotten worse over the past few months. at first if i turned the wheel slightly to the right it would stop. now it is constant.

Is it a howling sound? It might be a wheelbearing?

ok so i decided to go outside and mess with it. i pulled on the wheel(out away from the car) and it def moved farther then it should, all my bolts are there. Just by watching what i was doing with the wheel my dad said its prolly a ball joint.

i looked at them but how can u tell if they are bad?

Vehicel speed + rub rub noise, means it should be drive train...
Your CV shafts could be rubbing against something, do they have torn CV boots? Maybe something is inside them?
Check to make sure U do not have buckles / dents in your rims, they could be rubbing against something.
Either way, not an easy thing to help with without seeing it.

Do your axles have those weights that look like donuts on them, I had one tear in the midde so it was just "floating" on the axle and rubbin on all kinds of stuff.

When you get around to replacing them, do yourself a favour and check the drivers side tie rod end and see if it is loose. Common for all 3 to stuff up together or within a few weeks.
Tie Rod - Connects the steering rack to the hub axle.
