'90 Civic Axle Replacement Problem

Hi everyone. I replaced the axles on my '90 Civic last summer due to torn
boots. The passenger's side replacement was noisy, so I exchanged it for
another. That one had a vibration while accelerating which I put up with
until today. I swapped it under warranty and its replacement is slightly
noisy. Sometimes while taking a right hand turn I get a scraping sound
coming from it that continues for a ways after the corner. It's not the
brakes because the sound continues if I apply the brakes. I'm getting real
tired of replacing these things (but I am getting real good at it) and yes,
I know, the brand I chose is not the best one. My question is, could I have
done something wrong when installing it to cause this noise? Would over
tourqueing the axle nut slightly cause this?

Any help appreciated!

Check your wheel bearings.
