SUPER NISTECH! Help! I think my wheel is gonna fall off

[fuzion]

Alright.. my work moved down to this really REALLY crapp road called Power Inn Rd.. the road has pot holes that they tried to patch and divets and all kinds of crap..

Anywho, there is a bad clunking/vibration from the front right wheel it sounds like.. When i'm going 55 or more it happens.. sounds like something is spinning and hitting a peice of metal, I jacked up the car, didnt see anything broken, didn't feel anything loose, the wheel didnt shake or move from what I could tell.. but my wheel feels like its going to fall off and it makes a constant hitting noise.. When i'm driving it, it will stop for a little bit, then it seems like it starts again when I turn, but sometimes it does it when im not turning.. so im kind of confused about what causes it to hhappen.. I know it does it when I hit bumps in the road

My wheels are off balance (stupid stick on wheel weights), so ive got some shimmy there but there was never any noise until a few days ago.. my co worker said he can feel it, like something is hitting the car, and it causes the whole thing to shake...

Any ideas?? My dad lives an hour away.. im afraid to drive it that far!

so is it like a squeal or a grinding? i would take the wheel off and look for any place were somthing might have been rubbing, although im sure you have done that allready...

its like something is spinning and hitting something else, creating a clunking i guess? you can feel it in the floorboard..

here is what i would do, jack up each corner and take the wheel off. look and feel all the suspention bushings and conection points for play, also try to wiggle the strut and see if it has any play. it may seem to be coming from the right front, but sounds can be tricky, trust me

also jack up car and shake the wheel with lugnuts connected. should not have any real play.
