Question 2006 Sierra front end vibration?

I have a 2006 gmc sierra, 4x4, 1/2 ton, has 155,000 miles on it. I recently changed both front hubs on my truck. They didn't have any play in them just noise. I had one new front hub that was leaking grease out of the rear seal. I took that one back off and got a new one. Must have had a bad rear seal. Now I'm getting a front end vibration at highway speeds. Between 70-75mph. It gets worse when turning left when highway turns. It goes completely away when turning right at highway speeds. It doesn't shake in the steering wheel. Feels like its coming from the left front area or left front tire. More in the floor boards. So i rotated my tires, and its not as bad but still is there in the same spot. I've checked everything.

Cv axles have no tears in the boots and aren't spinning out any grease. I had a helper turn the steering back and fourth while the truck was on the ground and I didn't notice any play in any of the front end components. The only thing I did notice was the passenger side inner tie rod boot had a bunch of grease built up on it. But the boot was actually full. Could one of the bad wheel bearings caused something else to go bad? Warped rotor? Truck doesn't shake or vibrate when braking either.

Any ideas? This is driving me crazy

If it started when the bearings were done, go back over every step including proper torquing, look for any looseness anywhere.

I have re checked everything on both sides. I used a torque wrench on the axle nut. I torqued axle nuts to 177lbs. That was the torque spec I found on the axle nut.

Usually wheel bearing related issues can be felt when the weight is shifted to that bearing so if it is bad turning lt that could point to something on the rt. make sure the hubs run true vertically and horizontaly.
