Default I am stumped! Opinions please

I had my Inde replace a wheel bearing, Left Front due to a whirring sound. Sound is still present except now I also get a steering wheel and seat vibration above 55mph. And the steering just doesn't feel quite right.
The whirring may be related to front brake, but I don't feel any pulsation.

I will check to see if any counter balance weights have come off... but.. where to start?

If there was something done incorrectly upon the reassmbly of the bearing ***'y, the rotor etc.. where should I/We focus and troubleshoot before I go spending money on alignments and road-force balancing.

thanks in advance

Default Check and recheck-I walked in to find an indy smacking the bearing

onto the shaft and complaining it was too tight-until I pointed out that the inner was concave and he was trying to put it on backward.
go figure

Default Bentley says that an alignment check and adjustment is neccesary

Is this correct and could this be causing the vibration issues at speed?
