Growling noise when slowing down

Not sure what this is. It just started today. It makes a growling noise when slowing down and sometimes a little bit of a shake when coming to a complete stop

While braking to a stop or just coasting?

If braking, my first inclination would be to check the pads on all four corners and make sure you're not on the backing plates.

My brakes are almost ready for a change. I have that slight wobble when slowing down at a fast rate.

Growling is when coasting and when i about come to a stop 50ft before it has a little bit of a shake for a sec. and if i sit for min at a stop light it almost like a brake is sticking some where for a sec. i have had a stick cal before and the wheel will get hot. I dont see the same thing happening again so i am thinking ether
1- a u joint is going
2- front hub is going
3- front axle something wrong
4- my ebrake cable did just brake a week ago not sure if that could do it
