Drivers side front wheel bearing...

Anyone know what the symptoms of a bad wheel bearing are?

I'm pretty sure my drives side front is toast. Minor vibrations and noise at any speed, that seem to change in pitch / oscillation while turning.

Could it be pads rubbing funny?

After a little warmup, my right front would do a "thunk thunk thunk" with wheel rotation, most noticeably while turning at 5 to 20 MPH speeds (e.g., parking lots). Although intermittent, you'll know after a couple days that something definitely isn't right. Yeah, it was the bearing.
