If the bearing was gone for long enough it messed up inside the hub too.

When you jack up that corner can you move the wheel at all? How about the rear beam? What condtion is the strut in? What about the mounting points for the strut?

Do you have stock or aftermarket wheels ? I know with aftermarket wheels sometimes you need to use hub centric spacers.
If you have stock wheels make sure there is no corrosion on the mounting point where the hub meets the wheel.
If there is no corrosion on the wheel take it to a tire shop and have them put it on their balancer to see if the rim is bent.
Hope this helps!

Bent rim? Or maybe rear beam is off.

There could be a chance the spindle might have been damaged by a bad bearing/hub assembly.

Have you checked for play after you installed the new hub/bearing? If there is still play it could be the spindle.

From what I see from the drawings the spindle appears integrated with the rear beam (though I'm not 100%, you would need to look).

I believe you are right the spindle appears to be a part of the beam.
A quick check on everythingnissan.com seems to confirm this .

I had wobble at high speed, I have aftermarket rims, like everyone else. After hub-centric rings the wobble reduced. I found out that one rim was bent, so I took it to one of those rim truing shops. They did a good job, and less wobble. After new tires, even less wobble (I figure the tires had wobble worn into them, if that makes sense). After taking the wheels off myself and doing the feet-on-the-wheel plus every-other-nut method, the wobble is almost all gone.

Hub rings were 15 bones at Discount Tires, rim truing was 125 bones for one rim. Making sure the wheels were put on correctly was free .
