Not always with the front bearings and hub assembly. The starting issues with bad bearings in the front usually involves growning/growling when turning esp when cold. A good place to check this is a parallel parking situation or some tight turns at slow speeds. Front bearings though on most cars are usually good til the hub wears out so what you may be hearing is a bad hub up there. Its loose and when you turn the bearing actually must move with it seperately causing the growl.
