Started when I turn right feels like there's a clunk feel and sound and when I drive there's a slight wobble. Feels like in the faster I go feels the smoother it is. Also the vehicle pulls to the left problem is on the passenger front. Jack'd the car up to see if there was a slight wiggle and there is seems like the ball joint and CV joint are okay, but there is something that is snapped off on some like crossbar thing that connects to the control arm that is connected to both sides sway bar. Maybe but anyways the other side doesn't wiggle back forth. First I thought it might be CV joint then ball joint. But now it might be possibly a bearing. I did have them replaced at the beginning of the last year. What is your take on it?

Good afternoon,

The piece you are talking about is the stabilizer link kits. They are common for breaking.

I will attach a picture for you. You can get them at any parts store and easy to replace.

Replace them and see if it cures your issue.

Roy

Procedure

1. Raise the vehicle and suitably support the vehicle. Refer to Vehicle Lifting.
2. Remove the tire and wheel assembly.
3. Remove the stabilizer shaft link bolt and nut.
4. Remove the stabilizer shaft link from the vehicle.

When I Jack'd it up I put my hand on the back of the top of the wheel and on the bottom front of the wheel and it wiggled like the hub was loose but it's not.

Okay, that is different from what you said.

The wheel bearing may have play and that may give you that play.

Did you check for any play in the steering linkage? the tie rods?
