I reread your post right before posting this. Was the hub assembly fully pre-assembled? Did you grease the bearing? now remember I wrote the rest before this.
I know a fair bit about cars.... I can rebuild a motor haha and put a suspension together that I take apart.
Every wheel bearing that has ever needed replacing to my knowledge normally doesn't make the car vibrate at least in the beginning stages.
If you get to the top of a hill and drop the car into neutral windows down and the radio off. With out applying the brakes, do you hear a grinding whirring noise? If so its a wheel bearing.
CV joint should only pop if you turn the wheel while moving. Early stages you normally have to turn the wheel all the way.
top vibration causes.
-bent wheel (out of round tire)
-alignment (this includes bad tierod ends etc.)
