Possible knackered wheel bearing?
Last week I changed discs and pads all round for Godspeed grooved disc/Kevlar pad set. Since doing this I get a noise, somewhere between the sound of brakes metal on metal and wheel rubbing the wheel arch, if I go fairly quickly around a right hander, coming from the near side rear.
When I changed the disc it was not necessary to adjust the handbrake shoes on that side, the disc came off easily without doing so.
I have taken the wheel off and checked the caliper and pads and all looks well, nothing appears loose.
As I have 18's on I put the space saver on and went down the road, to see if it still did it, which it does.
Does this sound like bearing failure?

Yeah all clean, pistons appeared to move nice and freely when I moved them back in to fit the pads. I've given the wheel a good shake while on the ground in neutral with handbrake off and there appears to be a bit of play, although when I tried this with the wheel jacked up there wasn't really any, don't know if the driveshaft took the play out when it was jacked up
