Front Wheel Bad Bearing and Hub?

Put about 120 interstate miles on it yesterday, super smooth on the interstate now, definitely worth it!

2008 GMC Yukon 5.3 flex 2WD 175,000 miles.

I have been feeling this vibration from the front of the vehicle for sometime now. It's not an alignment problem. I jacked up the driver side front wheel a few minutes ago. Putting my hands at 9 and 3 on the wheel there is a small amount of play when wiggling on the wheel.

Does that point to a bad wheel bearing and hub assembly or something else?

I had the EXACT SAME ISSUE. Turned out to be a bad u-joint in the driveshaft. Sounded like bearing at about 70 mph. U-joint replacement fixed the issue. good luck!
