Can only be warped discs, seized/stuck calliper(s) causing uneven pad wear, worn wheel bearing, or loose wheel nuts really.
I'm leaning towards seized/stuck callipers. You can get a calliper service kit for around $30 for both fronts from most good brake places, and they are easy enough to fit/service following the instructions that come in the packaging.

Just warped rotors, we all get it, I run DBA slotteds, and theyll be starting to warp 5000k's after a skim.

Id be leaning towards warped rotors also. Pretty common with the ABS apparently.

Yeah, JC has just about covered it but I'll go with a front wheel bearing.
