Default Grinding and rubbing while turning to decline or slanted surface

This is driving me crazy because I've spent thousands on trying to find a solution. I've replaced my ball joints, hub bearings, driver side cv axle, and other things that I don't think are related to the problem. But I still have this grinding noise as I turn on to a declined surface and I can actually feel my truck slowing down. I don't think it happens on an incline. I've googled a solution forever but nobody seems to have the same problem. So I just joined this forum in hope that someone can help me find an answer before I spend any more money.

Hey Allan I'm just trying to find out what the noise is. I guess I don't really understand your question.

in2pro. It's an 08 silverado 1500. And I live in Hawaii so it doesn't get very cold, even in the winter the lowest temp is 60.

Yes I had one replaced a few months back so I assumed that couldn't be it but recently I saw grease splattered all over my wheel well. Got them both replaced and that seemed to fix it
