Pull the wheel... if the brakes look like shit, its the bearing. Look
at the rotors for scoring, blueish tint indicating high heat... compare
it to the passenger side if you need to. To make sure its a bearing...
pull the caliper and rotor and spin the hub by hand. If its very
difficult, very loose, notch feeling, its the hub.
