Check the spindle bearing. If you don't know what this is just ask.

That's your wheel bearing lock nut that you're talking about. You're spindle bearing is a needle bearing inside the spindle that supports your outer axle shaft.

I don't think that is possible but those spindle bearings will do some really unpredictable stuff when gone bad. a loose axle shaft is normal, but if too loose that is bad. I would sure look into those spindle bearings. You had the hub off, now take the 2 nuts behind the hub off, to get the bearing hub off the caliper must first be removed, then take the bearing hub off the spindle, then take the 5 nuts off holding the spindle on and remove the spindle. there is a bearing and a 3 part seal in there if yours is missing any of this, look for a new one.
