Default boot not torn ... but theres a roaring sound...

its a different sound than the wheel bearing... its like metal grinding.. and its loud! another way to describe the sound I just thought of is 10 bowling ***** going down a lane.... not the hitting of the pins just the rolling of the *****

That's exactly what a bad wheelbearing sounds like.

Most likely wheelbearing. I would not suspect CV unless you had a torn boot..

Default Mine did, through a rear drive train code, and emulated a ABS speed sensor problem

when breaking. If it's loud, get it fixed, you don't want them to break break. From the other symptoms though, it sounds like it may be a bearing.
