Possibles>>>
1. loose shock, not bad shock..could be bad rubber bushings.
2. Bad upper ball joint, jack up car, grab wheel left and right, manually try to shake the wheel, try to feel for mechanical play. If so, then bearing is problem.
3. While the car is jacked up, place tire iron under wheel and try to lift up wheel. If wheel moves upward with a "clunk" sound then upper ball bearing is problem.
4. Drive car while turning slowly with sharp right hand turn. If pulsating clicking sound coming from driver's front wheel then outer CV joint needs replacement.
5. Grab hold of steering tie rod and shake side to side and up/down. If tie rod joint has mechanical play then replace.
