Axle Stub Movement

Axle Stub Movement
Hey, so I've had my 280zxt for about 3 and a half years and only in the past month have I had this problem. At first, the car made the worst noise I've ever heard, every time the wheel rotated. I quickly went home and told my dad who has tried to fix it with no success. The axil stub at first had some play in it, kinda of wobbling when spun. We took the stub to a shop to be fitted to new wheel bearing because they were worn down so much. Still the same problem persists. Instead of wobbling the axil stub now rhythmical pushes in a out around a fourth of an inch. The sound is most likely the brake caliber being moved in and out. Any help? We have no idea what to do.

Welcome to ZDriver!
I wouldn't be surprised if it damaged the control arm... but if you took it to a shop and they didn't fix it, take it back to them and ask them to fix it CORRECTLY this time.

You'd have to check it with a measuring caliper.
And now that I think about it, it's more likely a warn / damaged stub.
I had that happen on my Geo Metro a few years ago... it wobbled when I bought it, and when I yanked it out it was visibly worn:
