I have a rubbing noise in the front and the brakes looks good I have replaced front wheel bearings bout 3 or 4 years ago I think that it could be the cv joints it also have a thump or a distinct knock noise but when I turn to the right going through curves it goes away but it comes back after I straighten the wheels

That my friend is a hub bearing, when you make a turn and it gets worse, what is happening is you're loading the bearing, putting more weight on it, when you staighten out the wheels you're unloading the bearing and the noise is reduced. Replace the hub assemblies on both wheels.
