What does it sound like if the main wheel bearings are going out? I'm getting some metallic chatter from the passenger side. Its only when the car is rolling, and the sound doesn't change with speed. Its just an occasional "ching ching." Its not loud either.

I can't tell if its simply some chatter coming from that brake, since it does com in under breaking, and then kind of disappears until I hit bumps or come off the brakes.

Maybe there are other symptoms with the bearing going out?

I'd say your pads are loose inside the caliper or something. A wheel bearing will usually make noise and a harsh vibration throughout the car, which will be MUCH more pronounced while turning.
