If there is significant play in the bearing then it could affect the tracking. However given that in replacing the bearing you are going to have to mess with the front suspension then probably best to get the bearing sorted and then get the tracking done. Depends how much you pay for tracking, how out it is and whether you are going to write a tyre or two off before you get ther bearing fixed.
