strange front end noise?

95 max has this strange noise from the front end. I thought it was the brakes because the pads were low but i put new pads on today and its still making the noise. It sounds like something is dragging. And i hear it as the car is driving. I dont have abs, but i also have mismatched tires on the rear but i dont think that has anything to do with it. Thought it might b wheel bearings on the driver front wheel, but mechanic said that side wheel bearing was ok. Havent checked passenger side yet cause it sounded more on the driver side. I dont kno what else it could b?

Turns out that the passenger side wheel bearing is shot! No trace of grease at all, and the wheel had too much play, up and down, left and right. Guess ive got my work cut out for me. This plus the other problems smh. Wat type of grease do u guys recommed when putting the bearing back in, and is the axle nut a 36mm still?
