Slop in a UJ could be the culprit. I had a similar vibration some time back and it was down to the tyres. How old are they?

Could just be wheel balance.

Was it like this before the bearing and UJ replacement?

I changed a wheel bearing and did put a new nut on to correct torque, but the washer was very old and overly crushed by prev. owner, so had no spring left in the steel, so the nut came a little loose and destroyed the bearing within 10 miles.
I had to re-do and swapped the washer, after this it was ok.
