Check out the hub, the wheel bearing has a split inner race and what can happen is one have of the race will spin while its on the hub grinding or melting down the hub 1/32 of an inch or even less, this will cause wheel wobble. With the cars tire in the air grab the top of the tire and with the other hand grab the bottom and try to wobble it in and out if you can your hub is shot.
With the wheel bearing extracted from the hub you will see a clear burn mark from one half of the inner race further confirming the problem. If the wheel wobble was there with your old wheel bearing it was the one that spun on the hub and its inner race is shot chances are the space between the hub and the new bearings inner-race also aloud it to spin. Personally I`d get a hub and another wheel bearing, or if you have the old wheel bearing find out which half was spinning and remover the half of the race that wasn't from the old bearing, and replace the race on the new wheel bearing that was sitting over the bad part of the hub with the old inner race from the old bearing. This will save the cost of buying another wheel bearing.
I had this happen to my c-900 and it drove me nuts until I noticed the hub was burnt, after changing the hub everything was fine. I use to have a pic. of the burnt hub from the inner race but it seems I lost it.
