500man- Try to tighten the nut in the center of the wheel. If the center nut and your lug nuts are tight, it is most likley a bad wheel bearing.

The only way a broken axle can make your wheel loose is if it broke inside the steering knuckle. If this is the case your wheel would be held on only by the brake caliper until it falls off completely.

A loose tie rod end bolt will also make your tire feel loose. Jack it up and see where the slack is. Bearings are around $35 each.

Yah jack it up and shift the tire around, not turn it but move it horizontally, if you know what I mean. If it wobbles its most likely the bearing.
