MY brake job was a combo that started as a wheel bearing job. The left fron wheel bearings had no wobble to them, but when I spun the wheel by hand, I could feel it "clocking", when spun it sounded like a very dull ratchet, but it would start roaring at 30 mph, and get louder as speed progressed. No need to shut the engine off, but coasting in neutral confirmed a wheel bearing.

I found a caliper with a slight leak and both had torn piston dust shields, so a brake job was incoprorated as well.

To be safe, I replaced all the bearings/races on both sides, as well as the calipers, pads, rotors, sensor leads and rubber lines.
