Brake knockoff

I did notice at Prescott I had quite bad brake knock off.Meaning I had to pump the brakes after traveling only a few hundreds yards of rough track.So I figured a wheel bearing must be going bad.
So I have the car on the jacks and checked the hubs for play.I don't seem to have any? I did notice a droning noise from the PS rear when going around a corner.
So I think the rear bearing is suspect.Any trick way to check?

Cheers

Chris

I have a loose front hub, but don't have to pump my brakes at all, they're solid...

checked the wheel bearings/brakes over the weekend.Nothing looked bad.So I bled the brakes just to make sure.Anyway on my to work this morning I hit the brakes at the first stop,then tere was a load crack from the PS rear and the pedal dropped about 2" so I figure the PS side caliper is sticking and I hope that's the problem.

I'll be taking my stock calipers off, uh, any week now probably if you want one. Or do you have turbo (2-pot) front brakes?

I have the one pot fronts.I think it's the rear I need to change.
Thanks for offering.

Cheers
