does the hub move from from side to side when you hold it at 3 and nine oclock if so probably a wheel bairing or front to bacck when held at 12 and 6 oclock then it may be the swivle bairing if that is the case it may just need packing out

Not sure why you need a new hub?? bearing are about a tenner and even if the whole swivel assembly needs replacing you're looking at around £60 for everything
