I am replacing a halfshaft, which is now removed, and ...

The bearing hub is now isolated on the knuckle (BTW, none of the tell-tale signs while driving or turning, of a bad bearing). The hub turns by hand with a fair amount of drag. There is none of the roughness normally associated with a bad bearing. But one thing (of concern?): there is a rubbing feel/sound, while turning by hand. The best way I can describe it is, the feel/sound of metal rubbing on an ultra-fine emery cloth. Is this normal?

Thanks for any assistance.
