Removed the brakes entirely and still got the issue.
Any ideas what could be the issue and what I can do to fix it?

Maybe you need to adjust the preload of the bearings, it is probably too tight! It wouldn’t hurt to remove them, clean and lubricate them (while checking the condition of the cones and bearings and replacing them if necessary).
Did you lose an endcap?
Usually means there’s a problem with how the hub goes together. Has it been disassembled at all? Maybe there’s a spacer missing or in the wrong place somewhere, or the end caps have been swapped, or similar
Sure you’re not creating disc rotor rub with the calipers when tensioning the hub?
My other guess would be spacer missing or installed in wrong place/direction.
