René, it does sound like your issue is hub related and likely not the axle itself which as discussed has taper roller bearings supporting the differential assembly inboard and plain non adjustable bearing supporting the outer ends of half shafts. If the latter had failed to give the half inch = 12.7mm of play at the wheel, oil would be pouring out of the axle from damaged seal, and you haven't mentioned oil leak.
Below shows hub parts for your car. The castellated nut (4) holds hub assembly onto half shaft.

It could be something simple like wheel not tight on splines so a good idea to check this first.
