Hey guys! So I have a wobble in my driver side front wheel. It may be in both the front wheels, I am unsure. I have no shake in the steering wheel, I did have a shake in my steering wheel but now I just want to get rid of the wobble. So far I have had the tires balanced and and changed out the rack and pinion bushings as well as the tension rod bushings. I notice it the most when i am initially accelerating from a stop and when I am slowing down. It does not seem to increase when braking. I did have a mechanic check the rotors and said they aren't warped. When I changed out the tension rod bushings I slightly shook the driver side wheel in the 9 and 3 o clock position and it barely moves but I can hear a "clunking" noise but don't know if it is a ball joint or what? So I tried shaking the wheel at 12 and 6 o clock and I didn't hear any noise. So I'm wondering if someone can help me figure out what would be causing these problems. Thank you
