is it only when you turn the wheel while driving? especially while accelerating?

seems to happen while going straight at speeds above 30 mph
could heating the axle nut with a torch ruin the bearing?
or maybe something axle related? im stumped

Simple, if it didnt do it before you touched it, then you fucked it up gus, you beat it up and broke it didnt you, tell the truth.

i have narrowed it down to 2 things: upper arm bushing being shot. Or possibly upper arm hitting frame because the new koni yellows lowered it even more. One thing i did notice more than ever is that when i drive over bumps or gutters the wheels feel loose and you can hear them make a wobbly sound. I thought the new Lower balljoints would have fixed this but, no it didnt. I think new upper arms are needed and wondering if theres an upper arm that has camber correcting balljoint, while i am at it. I know vision does but man thats expensive for upper arm. TIA
