If it rocks up and down it could also be ball joints.

Wheel bearings are approximately $33.85 a piece at
www.shonutperformance.com. How did he show you movement? If it rocks up 
and
down, it is bearings. If it rocks back and forth, it is tie rods.

If you do wheel bearings, you have to pull the knuckles off. Make sure to
replace all the fasteners with new ones, especially the hub nut.
