right front wheel wobbling

its very small right now but i noticed a little movement when i shook my front right wheel. i thought it was time to replace the wheel bearings so i did that and it still gives a little when i shake it. so has anyone had this problem? i want to fix this before it gets any worse.

does it wobble when you hodl the top and bottom of the tire, or just the sides.
if its top and bottom, then i'd say your bearings are just too loose. they dont need to be replaced unless they start making noise. just tighten them until the wheel doesnt spin freely, then back off a tiny bit. you can do it by hand- doesnt even require tools.
