When I excelerate the vehicle shacks and the wheel sounds like it's gonna fall off. I assumed it was the wheel bearings. Its like the wheel is dropping every time it switches gears and every other wheel rotation. Any suggestions?

Drive in a circle to test, left circle tests right side and go other way to see which side is more predominant. It may be a wheel bearing or axle shaft if 4wd
