Not much more to it than that. When I say, "under load", I mean when I hit a bump or a dip. I've had the noise for about a month, just today I jacked up the car and almost nothing has play in it. Except the drivers tire jiggles up/down and left and right. Which I assume is a hub. |

if its that loose, bearings are probably wasted. |

First need to isolate where the jiggle is coming from. While jiggling the tire at 12 o'clock & 6 o'clock positions, movement could mean bearings or ball joint for the front. For the rear, either bearings or other suspension components. While jiggling the tire at 3 o'clock & 9 o'clock positions, movement is possibly the tie rod ends for the front. For the rear, either bearings or other suspension components. All of these will make a clunk at one time or another. ![]() A bad bearing will growl when spinning the elevated wheel.

You could do all the above and have someone lay on their back and look at these areas to see what is moving. If your hearing a noise you should be able to see movement too. |
