I posted a couple of weeks ago about the sound of failing wheel bearings - my motivation was to share my recent experience of having bearing noise (metallic sound dependant on wheel speed) and fixing it by replacing the bearings and that the bearings didn't look particularly bad (to an amateur).

What I muddied the waters with was the claim that the steering wheel movement I was getting on braking was improved by the bearing change - wrong! - the looseness was in the tie rod ends.

I suppose it's possible to have a badly failing bearing affect steering on braking but it would have to be very loose (mine wasn't) or making a racket as it self distructed.

Hope this helps someone.
