front end vibration

After alot of reading here I have come to conclude that the vibration in my front end is probably the needle bearings.
The vibration comes and goes with hitting a bump in the road, manually lock hubs only and it quits.
I obviously don't want to by hubs if I don't need them but my question is that if the needle bearings are bad does that mean that the hub is not far behind?

Thanks

Once physically checked the hub was bad, needle bearings were dry but o.k.
