I recently replaced my locking hubs because they were seized up. I installed the hubs and drove it for 3 days then the rubbing noise started when I started driving down the road the faster I went the louder the noise got.

Hi,

Is the noise loud enough for you to record and upload for me to hear? If so, please do so.

Next, does the sound change volume or pitch when making turns? Have you checked under the vehicle to make sure nothing has come loose or is rubbing?

Check to make sure one of the backing plates behind the brake rotor isn't bent or touching the rotor. Also, check the stabilizer links to make sure one hasn't come apart and is rubbing. (See pic below)

Let me know what you find or if you have other questions. Also, let me know if you can tell if it is coming from one side.

Take care,

Joe

Nothing is loose underneath and can't get a recording of the noise because it's been raining here, I took out the hubs and greased everything bit still getting the same noise.

When you get a chance to record it, just upload it for me to hear. Also, did you confirm the dust cover/backing plates behind the rotors aren't bent or rusted, causing it to rub the rotor?

Let me know.
