How detrimental are bad wheel bearings? -

I mean, obviously bad wheel bearings aren't good...duh. I ask because I've been having this nose dive issue. I've tried everything except replacing the controller.
I knew my bearings (rpm knuckles) weren't in the best shape. Tonight, in a desperate attempt to remove any possible motive for the Revo to have an excuse to nose dive, I replaced the bearings in the knuckles.
So, how bad is bad? These are pretty bad. They're not locked up by any means but they feel the way rotors sound when you're metal on metal.
I'm just wondering since they're not spinning as freely as the beautiful new set in there if they're causing the front axles to momentarily lock up for a split second.
I took the truck outside and beat on it for about 10 minutes and it never nose dived once.
.... not that means much since the last few times I thought I had a cure, I'd drive for 10-15 minutes and think it was fixed.... only to find out the next time I drive I never fixed the problem.
Anyone have issues when they're bearings went bad?
Thanks,
Mark
