I would assume all was normal before the tire was changed?
First thing would be to make certain the bolts holding the wheel are secure. If that's good, then:
Any shake/pull when cruising on the highway, or when stopping? Is the tire balanced? Is the rim true?
I have had one nasty, once - brand new set of tires, the car shook on the way home. Went back, they checked all 4 rites - "all balanced well". Installer said one rim was bad. Took it to an alignment shop I trusted, they checked the rim - no the rim was fine, but the TIRE was defective. Took it back, they installed another tire (all under warranty), and all was good for the life of the tires.
Also had belts break in the tires (4 times!!), and you could see a "wow" in the tread on each one. THAT was really interesting to handle the car!!
Can't picture the bearing being problematic for pull, but one caveat: some bearings include the ABS sensing mechanism internally, so they become PRICEY! (Mr. Goodwrench liked to do that).
Possibility of damage caused by tire installer to the axle, bearing or brake, but, again, unlikely.
Points back to the tire.
My car is shaking and pulling o the right. I had gotten my front passenger side tire change about a week ago. I'm not sure if that has anything to do with it.
