When dealing with a shop technician that offers parts replacement without a diagnoses that they can describe to you. or better yet, show you...get your keys and go somewhere else. Every problem has a diagnosis/troubleshooting decision tree that isolates the issue....when you get responses of 'it could be this or maybe it could be this other thing', no one has done the work to solve your problem. Unless your brakes were shot based on measurements of pad thickness, rotor run out, rotor thickness etc., then you should not be paying for a brake job. It wasn't your problem.
The bearing is an easy test, but in my experience, when failed, it's related to more speed and you feel it in your butt. If your low speed shudder isn't moving the steering wheel, it's not in your front end. You could be experiencing any number of causes, including a shifted belt on a tire, a damaged rim, to a broken tranny mount. Go find a mechanic that actually does what you pay them for. Clearly something is broken, it shouldn't be an easter egg hunt to find it.
