Wheel hub - ABS

I've had a rubbing/grinding sound in my front drivers side wheel for a few weeks now. I thought it was a warped rotor (sounded and felt like it) so i changed both rotors and put on new pads today. To my dismay, the noise is still there. I'm thinking that i have a bad wheel bearing. For the last few years, i've also had a problem with my ABS (the standard pedal skidding at low speeds). I changed out the rear wheel speed sensor and still have the problem so more then likely it's one of the front sensors.
My question is, what are the chances that the bad bearing is causing the abs to fail ?
Also, could the grinding noise i'm getting be anything else then a bad wheel bearing/hub ? It's the same at any speed, it feels like a pulsing that you get with bad/warped rotors.
Thanks !!

The chances of the of them being related are really good. With the wheels off the ground push/pull at the 12 and 6 position. if there is any slop replace the bearing.

Are you suggesting the rubbing sound and pulsation does NOT change as the vehicle speed changes, or it just doesn't go away at certain speeds?

Im saying that it does not go away. How fast the vehicle is going is how fast the sound and pulse is.

Mine was doing the same thing (00 Eddie Bauer) Replaced the drivers side front hub assembly and the noise stopped.
