Is either front caliper dragging?

I've replaced both of mine as they were sticking. I want to say they both were replaced at around the 150000 mile mark? I replaced one and then just the other as preventative maintenance.

Sort of pissed me off as I flush the fluid in all my vehicles at 2 year intervals.

As far as "bumpiness" goes in the wheel bearings, the only way to check the bearings is with the caliper removed so there isn't any dragging. Should be NO bumpiness/grinding/rough spots. Have replaced both of them as well. I think I noticed roughness during a brake job and just replaced both fronts as a precaution. Aftermarket fronts aren't too expensive as I recall and the job is straightforward. Just be sure you use a torque wrench when reinstalling everything.

Now at 192000 miles and still "plugging along"...
