Did you check your wheel wells to see where your tires are rubbing? Because that's what is going on. Sounds like you blew a ton of money on brakes you didn't need.

I have serious doubts that it's related to a wheel bearing. When wheel bearings fail, the noises they make typically cannot be heard at low speeds. Often times they can't even be heard under 30mph, so the fact that the OP can only hear the grinding noise when turning while reversing suggests (to me, at least) that there is rubbing of some sort happening.

Agreed with Karl. Wheel bearings are a 'replace as needed' part.
