Could be a number of things :wall:
If you have time off next week check everything, could be a wheel bearing, track rod, drop link, lower arm / lower arm bushes, drive shaft. Sorry to be so vague.
Check the wheel for any play when it's jacked up, disc for any cracks e.t.c, check all joint ends R.E shagged / split rubbers, check the drive shaft for excessive play / condition of c.v joints / hub nut. May also be worth checking the suspension for a damaged spring or damper that is leaking oil e.t.c. Have you had the wheel balanced lately ? Also make sure all nuts & bolts e.t.c are done up correctly to include suspension top mount nuts. Some times its the stupid small things that are the cause.
Hope this helps....
