inspect the suspension for something broken.
check the axle bearing for play and noise while spinning.

something is bad and should be noticable by jacking it up and looking around and spinning the wheel

if the bearing is a 1 piece, it is not too bad to replace.

if it is pressed, it will be expensive due to removal of the hub assembly.
