    Jack the car up, and grab the wheel at 3 and 9o'clock. If the tire wobbles, then it's a bad wheel bearing.

    Could be other stuff too.
    Loose lug nuts
    Problem with the tire (tread separation)
    Could have slung a tire weight.

    Though, I'd put money on it being a bad wheel bearing.

    isnt it 12 & 6 o clock to check bearings and 3-9 to check tie rods and rack and pinion?

    12&6 is right.

    It's been a long day.

    Mine seems to do the same thing around 65 and 70. Mine feels like the steering wheel is bouncing up and down. I know it's not the wheels and tires because they did them on the old one and now on the new ones
