Maybe something related to the steering components like the rack possibly.

Don't listen to anyone except this person.....Set your car down on the Ground and pull the wheel back and forth, if it moves or wiggles at the top and bottom...you gotta get your car off the ground, jack it up, pull the wheel hub assembly apart, go and have the hub pressed...which will rip the bearing apart anyway.....have a enw one greased and put in.....It's a pain in the ***.. But it will solve so many future problems.

Point in case: if you let the bearing go to ****.....it'll back your lug nuts off and you will not like the outcome of that one.
i'm guessing no more then 100$ per side....70-90$ per bearing and 30$ for larbor.

check all suspension components and steering components. Tie rod, ball joints, wheel bearings etc. Best way to check most of these are pull and pushing on the component. Bearings should be noticeable especially when you spin the hub. Audible noise is usally associated with wheel bearing failure. removing the knuckle is going to be a pain in the ***. Those ball joints are hard to pull apart.

you could go get a whole upright but being from a yard it's prone to go bad again or be bad to begin with.

try and find a crx si that has no front damage.....that's your best bet in getting a new hub assembly for cheap/decent price.
