*quicky* creak/grind from ft wheel once per revolution - what is it?

I have lots of meat on the pads
(though they are the pads that were imported and came with my calipers.. so they cold be heaps old)
I have had the rotors machined recently, and the rotors feel good
so what left? bad bearing? it is a realy nasty kinda creak/grindy noise
bearing is the only thing I can think of.. as CVs dont' sound like that. it does it once per revolution of my wheel.. but I can't make it do it when it's off the ground 
thanks guys

Wheel bearing loose? no load = no squeak. load moves hub enough to scrape pads or gring the bearing

can you wiggle the hub around, even tho the nut is tight?
is it hard to pull the hub off and inspect the bearing races?
have someone roll the car while you sit next to wheel and hear sound to locate it better?
does it sound like solid contact/grind? or more like creaking?

so mad.
any other ideas? what about the bearing on the drivers side driveshaft? the big circular one in the middle.. could that cause it?

worse when breaking
but present even when rolling
I have about 70% of my pads left (but they were imported pads.. ie.. the ones that came with the gt4 calipers from jap.. so maybe they are rock-territory????)
but I really don't think it sounds like them

does it go away when u brake real hard?
it could be ur brakes man. in an old car u most likely lost some shims and anti squeak clips etc...
try taking them pads out, grease up all the contact between metal and metal of the pad and caliper. then go for a drive see if it reduces the noise

Is it still there if you remove the pads and spin the hub?
Get a cheap ass $25- set of pads from super cheap and try it.

My turbo maxima was making the same noise worse at slow speeds and when braking,Turned out to be the D/S wheel bearing
You can change the bearing but it won't make a pinch of shit difference Coz by the time there making this noise it usually means that the hub is stuffed
I take it your car is low, This will make your front end parts wear quickly

When I had the one replaced in my Max the mechanic picked that the bearing went back into the too easy, on closer inspection he found that the hub where the bearing goes was worn this cannot be repaired and fitting a new bearing was not going to fix the problem and that it would just stuff the new bearing
I think that your mechanic did not pick this up and has fitted the new bearing into a worn hub
All the symptoms that you describe sound exactly the same as with my Max

If it is worn try to get some "speedy sleeve" from CBC bearing etc. heat up and fit to hub to resleeve to correct or next size up

I have a similar problem in my AE92.
And like you its driving me #$%#ing insane.
I guess Im gonna have to pull the hub off and check my bearings out too...but if you find the answer please post it.
You might save me tearing whats left of my heai out.

I also found it was due to a correctly torqued, but not tight enough hub nut

find a flat bit of concrete, make sure its clean of solvents and/or oils {prolly not garage}, and take the pads out and give the face a small rub on the ground so all new surface material is being shown, try that,
and lube your caliper pins, they are the ones that have the little bush over it, the ones that so when u take the nut off to remove the pad it lets the 2 halves of the caliper swivel
i had a similar problem, the pins were dry cause of the deteriorated rubber boot, and i made the caliper kinda jam sideways, and let the pad rub, after a 150k drive the brake pad was smokin 
U MUST USE A BEARING TYPE GREASE ONTHE PINS
dont just hit it with WD40, make sure u dont get the grease where the pads touch the rotors, or u will be in trouble
do it now

My corona has the exact same thing, but i know whats the problem there tho.
the rims are wide, and when i balanced the wheel i put the weights on the inside of the rims, when my car is not jacked up, the weight slightly touches the upper balljoint, i cant hear it if the car is jacked up tho... since i get a bit diffrent pressure/angle on the wheel.
ur suspension is prolly a bit diffrent, so i dunno if its possible that something like this can happen there.
