I think you need to pull the wheels off and LOOK and see what's going on with your bearings, and brakes, and the entire wheel assembly.
Bearings, brakes, etc. are just too important to leave to guessing. Plus the other components need to be checked.

They apparently put very little grease in these EZ-Lube hubs and it isn't unusual to have to use a lot of grease the first time you lube them up, which needless to say should have been a lot sooner than 12,000 miles. 🙂
And yes, you should raise the tire off the ground and spin it while lubing the bearing. Don't use a power grease gun and don't get in a big hurry. However yours doesn't sound too good.

There should not be any free-play, in fact it should have some pre-load.
And EZ lubes grease the brakes as often as not.
At this point I would replace that particular set of bearings/races.
