Question bad wheel bearing sound, new wheel bearings?

Hi guys, I installed my new wheel bearings over 2 months ago. I am hearing only at low speeds the sound a wheel bearing makes when it is totally worn out. I jacked the truck up and checked for play and nothing. Is it possible that I over tightened the bearing on the passenger side? It was making the same noise with the old bearing. A friend thought it was a tire noise but it made the same sound in the snow the other night which would lead me to believe its a wheel bearing. One more thing, I noticed that the Brembo rotors that I bought say Braco on them made in Mexico, shouldn’t they say Brembo? I bought them from importcarparts.com and they came in Brembo boxes. It could be just me or it could be my front brake making the noise I don’t know!

What did the old bearings look like when you pulled them out?

not too bad

!I changed the inner and outer bearings and races along with a new seal, Mobile 1 grease and at the same time installed the Brembos and PF pads. I’m not 100% sure but it really sounds like I have a bad bearing. I’ve checked them twice now to make sure they didn’t work themselves loose but they are fine.. odd huh
