from side to side? (hands at 3 and 9 o clock) if so then its likely to be track rod ends.
up and down (12 and 6 o clock) is likely to be bottom ball joint or bearing

Jack the car up and wobble the wheel side to side, get a friend to put his hand on all the seperate components (ball joint, track rod end etc) to see where the play is coming from. It sounds unlikely to be bearing from what its doing.

yeah, listen to Ainsley
wheel bearing would make a whining/groaning noise all the time
it sounds very much like the ball joint 
not a big deal to replace, half an hour in a garage, plus the cost of the part, not too expensive
