Problems with offside front wheel bearing

I recently replaced a wheel bearing on a peugeot partner 1.4 petrol, 04 plate. On replacing it and road testing it, it was found to be satisfactory. Then when the car is drivin for approx 5 miles there is a squeeky, scraping sound coming from the offside front wheel only when the car is warm, braking and drivin for approx 5 miles. On further inspection, I stripped the drive shaft and found the inner cv joint had a spring in it but was found to be bent. I replaced the drive shaft but this was not successful. I replaced the anti-roll bar link pin but this also was found not to be satisfactory.
Any ideas?
 
Jack the car up and spin the wheel by hand and see if you can find the noise.
My guess, if you've had everything off to do the wheel bearing is the brake disc shield slightly bent and rubbing on the wheel, or anti rattle clips on the brake shoes.
