Hello,
Considering the wheel wobble ( www.youtube.com/watch?v=8yiQ0U50WdU ), I have second guess: CV joint should eliminate all wobble originating between itself and transmission. (before you ask: the wheel has no play whilst moving it by hands, and wheel itself is fine, as I swapped them and when wheel off, can see brand new brake disk touching pads as it spins - you can hear brakes squeek intermittently when hot and at low speeds)
So you might be right: wheel's hub flange is uneven/warped/hit/races borked,
Please tell me how hard it is to replace a hub (the whole or the flange only):
* Should I replace it on both axles?
* What does the "outer diameter" dimension mean?
* Why does e-bay offer to buy the whole hub (2nd hand), but new parts are offering only a flange? : www.ebay.co.uk/sch/Sus...+wheel+hub
In contrast to (says it fits for my Pug, but dimensions differ by mm):

because most breaker can't be bother to remove the hubs from the front pivot (and most likely when you pull out the hubs the bearing will be destroyed)

Thanks Seabook;
I'll try swapping the front hubs together, see if wobble gets swapped as well.
Any pointers to look out for while dismantling? (e.g. I haven't got a torque wrench)
Cheers,

well you need a hubs puller to remove the hubs...
and you need a press to fit new bearing and remove the old bearing
