bad wheel bearings left alone over a long period of time will eventually lock up that wheel

I always look for the simplest explination first; which would be are the tires even balanced? There are little weights on each tire that gives you a balanced ride. If one falls off one tire you can get a shimmy.

I had coopers put on mine about 2 months ago and they are fine, I had them balanced aswell with an alignment check.
