Noise coming from front end

My 99 f250 was making a grinding/poping noise when taking a left turn, it went away when driving on the highway, now today, it would make a noise like I was going over groves in the highway every time I turned or hit a bump and would continue until I jerked the wheel. What could be causing this?

Jack up the front until wheels are off the ground. Turn by hand, if it’s not quiet then you have bad wheel bearings.

Just jacked it up and realized my left wheel wobbles back and forth. Didn’t even check it cause it was coming from right side

Replace both sides. If they were installed as a set they will wear and fail usually at, or close to, the same time.
