Wheel Bearing Failure
Front near side wheel bearing, decided to give up, usual brake spongy feeling, then a shake, caught just in time before it really got hot. Mind you it welded the inner race to the stub axle.

Going to change the schedule on how frequent i check the wheel bearings now.

Typically you can hear an impeding failure (rumble), unless maybe your car is really noisy. For the cost difference get Timken bearings.

Good thing is parts are relatively cheap
