Sure it isn't the ball joints or tie rod ends? Those can also cause the wheel to move around and burn through tires.
Before you pull it apart, jack it up and see which direction(s) the wheel can shift around.

i had a mechanic looking at it with me, he's sure about there being slack in the bearing, but wanna get it tightened or replaced then on to check the ball joints, the tire is gone 95% but i am not gonna replace it till i can get the front end fixed up. shocks are shot too, but thats another day, when i gots money again...
