Is it both wheels? Do you have manual or auto hubs? How are your brakes? do they feel like they are dragging or pulling to one side?

Could it be the axle nut is to tight causing the bearing to overheat and swell? Did you do the brakes or a shop?

yeah come to find out it was the Inner/outer tire rods LEFT AND RIGHT. The ball joints, shocks. all messed up along with the tires. which were replaced today. It's gonna be about 2000 bucks to get back in motion.
