shaky front right wheel

I just got a new wheel bearing, approximately 100km ago
and i'm having the same problem as before.

The wheel bearing before was in really bad condition, it'd shake
and make noise, after the mechanic installed the bearing
i checked it, the tires didn't shake as i tried to rock it

up and down or side to side, now i went to install the tires,
it does that again, it rocks every way, what can be wrong with it?

thank you all for the reply

I was thinking tie rod too but isn't tierod only when you rock it
side to side? not top to bottom? It's quite loose and i'm thinking
if anything can get that loose over 100km period.

I was hoping that the hub didn't tighten enough because
the mechanic had to heat the bolt to remove it (the bolt holding
the hub) so i was hoping that it backed out when i hit a bump or w.e
is that possible?

sounds like upper or lower ball joints...check them or your wheel might fall off

^^ LOL....

Check the tie rods and ball joints...

Also could it be that the bearing has been "broken in" and the hub nut needs to be re-torqued?

I need to do a front left wheel stud soon on my car and i'll need to split the bearing to replace it and put a new bearing in, So I don't want this to happen to my car either...lol.
