Default driver side wheel feels loose

when i hit a bump or make a hard turn or a fast start it feels like maybe my cv joint is bad or something but i looked under and checked it out and it looks good the boot isnt ripped or anything but there is alittle movement in it, is that normal or should it be solid? and if not how can i fix that

Is it the axle that's moving or part of the suspension? Is the wheel bearing shot? If you can fill us in a little further then perhaps we can help.

sounds like wheel bearing or tie rod..... or maybe rack n pinion... vague info gets ya vague answers lol... could be any of those things I listed, because I once too had this same exact feeling from my front end and after I replaced everything it went away... "but my problem was rack n pinion shot out"... GL

Jack it up and wiggle the tire around to check for loose ball joints or bushings.

Good advice.
have a friend wiggle the wheel while you stick you head under the car and see what part is allowing the movement. And please use a jack stand. lol
