Shocks could be worn out. Tires could be cupping.

so far
so far no noticeable cupping, would wheel bearings or ball joints be the cause of cupping, which is the most likely culprit?

I think bad shocks would be the first cause of cupping. Iam not to sure wheel bearings or ball joints would cause it.
