Steering Drone

I got a problem I can't quite figure out: Going under say 40mph when turnin to the left only I get a loud drone coming from pass side front tire, it is loud enough I can hear it over the motor. I have had the tires rotated, balanced and pressures checked...nothing helped. I jacked the front of the truck up and grabbed the top and bottom of the tires to check for wobble and nothing. This morning I pulled both front tires and took down both front brake assemblies and inspected pads and rotors, they look good also. Any thing I am missing, something that might should smack me in the face. Oh and another thing, the discs with no tires on are very hard to turn, as if the brakes are engaged on them, they move, just not much. It almost sounds like a pad is dragging or something. The drone is getting under my skin and I have to fix it or else.

Thank you in advance

Scott
