You may have a front wheel bearing going bad.

When I got my tires changed they said bearings felt tight my pitman arm had slight play in it and I know my lower ball joint is dry on that side because looks like grease sert is broke on it. So do u mean wheel bearing hub or inner bearing on inside of cv axle

It's all the same hub bearing and it doesn't have to be loose to make noise.

I never said it was making a noise, and there is a wheel bearing hub assembly and a bearing inside front differential where the axle goes in they are not the same thing

That's right but a differential bearing wouldn't be a wheel bearing or hub bearing, now would it? So, an inner wheel bearing and an outer wheel bearing would both be the same hub bearing.

when I got tires changed they said lower ball joints had slop so I changed them only thing is when I took off nut on bottom it wasnt tight really just above the pin that holds nut on. So thats how far I tightened it is this right or do I tighten it down so that its tight

secure that nut and there should be a cotter key through the nut. Check all your work to make sure nothing came lose. Gl

It is torque at 81 just like it says in the book. PitmanARM has slight play and shocks squeak slightly. Do u think maybe need alignment or would needed alignment cause to sway or just pull to one side
