Sounds like your wheel bearing could be shot, the easiest way to check them is to give the wheel a tug to see if there is any play in it.

If at first you don't succeed, try, try, then reverse over it...

Just get a new one. They're not that expensive. Greasing is unlikely to work unless its bone dry and that is the case, the damage has already been done.
