Default Bad wheel bearing?

My car shakes a little with speed, but no matter what speed I'm at, about 2/3 the time when I floor it the entire car gets pretty shakey. Could this be a bad wheel bearing? I just had my axles replaced with b16a2 abs shafts after having two torn boots on my ctr ones.. Maybe they were junk replacements? Please help, this is really annoying.. it almost feels like wheel hop.

jack the car up, and see if you can shake the wheel vertically, if there is movement, bad wheel bearing

Good to know cause I think i have bearing problems as well. When I drive it sounds like there is this whinning type of sound and somtimes pulls to one side my car. Could also be wheel alignment....

that could indicate balljoints too.

In my experience, 4 times out of 5, a vibration is wheels/tires. If it started right after this axle replacement tho....

I already had my wheels and tires balanced along with an alignment. I don't see what I could have done to cause it to shake, it just started doing this and I haven't bottomed out the car or gone to the track in months..
