'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.
