Think the old/damaged bearing was left on for too long.  Prev owner had it replaced but I still got probs (brake squeek / chirping) on the same corner even after replacing the disc.  Guessing the hub must be goosed too, causing the disc to run squiffy?

Don't!

I've got it booked in next week to get it looked at.  Would a sticky caliper not pull under braking?
