Default 00 mc front end groaning from 45 to 65

my mc is making a groaning noise from the front pass. side I think is the best way to describe it but it only does it from 45mph to 65mph Its worse around 50 I can feel it vibrating my pedals and if I turn to the left it goes away but as soon as the bring the wheel back to straight it starts again ive already replaced the brakes, rotors, and the hub twice bc I thought I might have got a bad hub thanks for any help its driving me crazy

1. Bad ball joints
2. Check the tire for any side wall bubbles
3. Maybe wrapped rotor but you'd feel vibration when breaking too
4. Worn sway bar link

well I first replaced the pass side hub because it began to put a bevel in my rotors so I got new rotors brake pads and the hub about a month after the hub was replaced my noise problem began so I changed the hub again a few days ago took it for a ride and as soon as I hit 45 again it was back which leads me to believe its not the hub and I doesnt make any clicking noises when I turn but when I turn the steering wheel to the left its fine but as soon as I straighten the wheel its instanly back

What brand hubs are you replacing with?

Could also be an axle.

Have you rotated the tires to make sure the sound didn't move with the tire?

they are from pepboys the brand is proline they are sealed units so I cant check the grease in them I just thought it strange that the same symptoms arrive right away after I replaced it. The first time it was a month until I heard the noise and I actually just put 2 brand new tires on today and the noise still remains

I still wouldn't be surprised if it was the hub assembly. Not all hubs are created equal.

Timken and ACDelco are known good brands. You can grab a Timken hub off amazon.com for around $85.
