Defo wheel bearings.

did the car feel like it would pull to one side occasionally?

Wheel bearings tend to rumble for a while before they actually disintegrate, however I had a 1.4i escort that had a rear wheel bearing turn to powder on me. It locked up the rear wheel when I was driving on a motorway.

If there is any play on the wheel when jacked up, its 99% the wheel bearings that have gone. Be VERY VERY VERY carefull taking it to a garage.
