Possible causes:

1. Check your lug nuts.

2. Balance the tires.

3. Alignment.

4. Bent wheels.

5. Bald spots on tires.

6. Bad shocks/struts.

.....and many more.....

It doesn't click, but I got new axles anyways. The tires are almost new so I'm not suspecting tire balance. It very well could be mount bushings, cause I noticed one of them coming out of the mount. I'll check everything you guys told me about as I go down the list. Could it be hub bearings? Let me know if anyone else has any ideas.

Thanks for everyone's input. I got lucky and all I had to do was change out the axles I had already bought. So I wound up not wasting money.
