I replace my bearing for my front passenger side bearing about 6mths ago. I was trying to make this car maintain as possible. Recently I hear a woobley sound coming from the passenger side. So i took the hub out to see whats wrong. I can push the hub in and out like by an inch. I went to oreilly where i got it install and they said that they can't do it cause i need a new hub. What cause it to go bad?

no no no no. the balls in the bearing ride on the races. theres an outer race which presses into the knuckle while the inner race is pressed onto the hub. if you dont replace the inner race then yes you can ruin your new bearing, however reusing the hub (unless its bent) wont cause problems.
