Easy way to test the bearings (as told to me by Brett Anderson a few days back):
- Raise the wheel in question so you can get a hand on the spring. Remove the wheel and replace the lug nuts to secure the rotor if you can't fit your hand in between the gap.
- Rotate the wheel (or rotor, if you've removed the wheel). The caliper and rotor will have more resistance at times (normal), but you'll be able to feel the bearing/wheel movement in the spring if it's bad.
I've got a bit of sloppiness in my steering, which is what elicited that conversation. I still haven't ruled out the tires, but the entirety of my suspension is new, everything's been aligned and balanced.
One thing I did that helped A LOT: I discovered that one of my rear tires had a lot more air pressure in it than the rest. Let some of the air out and a lot of the pull that I was getting disappeared.

check that your brake calipers aren't sticking
Check your tire pressure... most shop don't set them right.
