I have the car up off the ground. With one hand behind the bottom of the tire, and one hand on top, I can shake the tire back and forth. What you want to look at is the axle boot. You can see it's moving up and down. That's a clear indication that your hub is bad, and not your ball joint or your tire rod. Your hub's bad if you can move that axle up and down.
