ok IM either guessing its a wheel bearing or tirod.... i jacked the car up and when i grabbed the wheel at 9and3 position it wobbled....and at 12-6 it never did.....

12-6 i would htink wheel bearing, 9-3 tirod.....

woudlnt it wobble at all positions if it was a wheel bearing?

Gonna need a little more info... Any noises when you're driving? Maybe a humming or grinding noise that changes pitch/volume/goes away when you turn the wheel? How does it handle? Does it turn abnormally? Is there uneven wear on the tires? If the tie rod is bad it can cause excessive toe in or toe out, wearing the tires. If you think the tie rod is going bad you're going to need to actually check the tie rod itself at the ends where it attaches to the knuckle. Try to pop the ends off the joint. Check the bushings for excessive wear. The wheel wobble is a good indication the wheel bearing is bad. Drive it and listen for grinding noises or a loud hum at speed. It's a good indication of a bad wheel bearing. Or it could even be as simple as loose lug nuts.

well take the wheel off and check it like that. a bad bal joint will let the wheel move from the bottom. With the tire off, you can see what's moving.
