the only noise i hear i believe is wind related at highway speeds but maybe got worse.

the exhaust is loud so it would be hard to hear noise from a wheel bearing.

It's kinda bs way to do it and it's not a sure way but I was able to get play I couldn't unloaded.
the clunking has gotten worse. after spinning the wheels on side made different noise and its hard to tell if its brakes or hub.

there is no obvious movement but i will try taking wheel off and using the breaker bar test...

there is a constant high speed road noise on highway maybe wind related sound.

also the front end just feels unstable at high speeds and ofcourse the steering wheel vibration is seen when not holding the wheel at 60mph plus and when holding has vibration.( also slight vibration from pedals)

between the clunking issue and the steering wheel wobble/vibration there is something happening. Cant believe its tires or wheels at this point. Maybe toe aligment needs to be rechecked?
