ball joint looks fine.. im guessing it is the wheel bearing.. would it be better to buy a new bearing and have it pressed in? or just get a new hub assembly? also on the highway the steering wheel shakes if there is weight on the right front.. but around right hand corners the weight is on the left so it doesnt.. i got used tires and rims so it needs an alignment anyway, but could this also be a symptom of the wheel bearing?? Thanks guys, lmk

yea definitely not a tie rod or ball joint.. i think it is the wheel bearing.. and i dont think the nut is loose cause it only pivots on that one point. it doesnt move in and out. im gonna order a hub assembly from vrsf maybe tonight and replace it this weekend i hope

if it has an inch of play I woulnt drive the thing anywhere. A wasted wheel bearing usually will have a growling noise that changes with weight and speed. Even if your hub nut is loose the bearing will need to be replaced at this point. My left front has a hint of play, my shop quoted 250 to pull the hub, press in a new bearing reinstall and re allign.

Also today went outside and WITHOUT the car jacked up there is play in that tire a little via up and down motion NOT left to right please if u know what this could be let me know asap thanks greatly appreciate it. Oh and the clunking does not happen when turning or accelerating.
