If you are seeing a lot of brake dust you have a sticking caliper. It is possible that you have a bad bearing but you should hear a noise if the bearing is going. I would change the caliper first to see what happens. This is easier and cheaper than the bearing and you will see immediate results. If that doesn't correct the problem then the bearing is the next item to change.
