For me, I think this advice helped. We did discover that the front
left brake had a cracked (obvious, but not in critical state) brake
line. Replace it with the excellent Slee Off Road**
(http://www.sleeoffroad.com/products/products_drivetrain_brakes.htm),
worked with the brake bleeding again, and my problem was gone.
So no, it wasn't the wheel bearings loose nor warped discs that was
the problem, though I did check those as well. Only thing I didn't
check was the nut behind the wheel ;-)
**I really have to comment that I had some delivery issues with the
brake lines at first, but Christo pulled through and fixed the problem
without any stress on my side. This is again one of the many reasons
I've been a loyal customer for years now!
