Bearing failure or ?

When overtaking a large truck I suddenly detected vibrations I haven't felt before. This was at the bottom of a mountain pass and then there was gravel road and other awful conditions. When we started the downward slope, my breakes started squeeking a bit. I thought maybe they were a bit overheated.

The problem is still around but in low speeds I keep here in town it's not so pronounced. We are visiting my mother who's had Subarus since early 80s and she thinks it's the front bearing. In short, there's a bit of vibration in the steering wheel, in the chairs and some occational squeeking from the left front wheel.

What's your take?
