Q: Right front wheel wiggles, makes squeaky noise.
When stationary, the right front wheel of my car wiggles easily by hand. While driving, a hard thud/clunking noise is also heard & felt in the car when going over bumps. Does not seem to occur during braking or acceleration. I've only driven at low speed (30MPH). I dare not try to go faster should something seriously come apart. Wheel bearing or ball joint? Thanks for the assist.
My car has 150000 miles.
