Default Grinding sound, passenger front wheel..??

As above really, any ideas? Obviously thought it may be pad/disk related but all seems fine on a visual inspection! It occurs only at low speeds when braking and pulling off, can't really be heard at higher speeds.

Car is an 06 WRX Hawkeye with 59000 on the clock.

Thanks as always in advance for any advice

Yeah that`s what I reckon...bearing. Each time mine`s gone though, it was more of a clunk.

Cheers boys, yeah my initial thoughts, I'm far from an expert but that's next after pads/disks right? Any ideas what I'm looking at to repair?

Thanks
