Thats my guess. I've done wheel bearings, and they only made noise and slight vibtration, never resistance. A wheel bearing will sound like a mix between rumbling and grinding. Sort of a growl. If its in the front, it will be more pronounced on the side with more weight. If you go on the freeway, then take an exit at a good speed, you may hear the wheel taking the weight gets loud. In fact Ive read that the left front wheel bearing is more likely to fail because most of these exits on the highway are righthand ones.
It is possible for a caliper to stick. I don't know much about them, however I had a sticky caliper on my 900 a while back that went aqway on its own but the wheel would get so hot that I couldnt touch the rim. Perhaps try jacking that side of the car up and spinning the wheel by hand.
