Default Another wobble question

I have just spent about an hour reading through wobble threads and haven't really seen anyone else give the same exact description of mine.

When driving slowly by another vehicle or wall or anything on the driver's side, I hear a clunking sound echoing off the other object. I'm not sure if this has anything to do with the wobble or not.

When I am driving up to about 45, I have a slight vibration. From 45-55 it turns into a violent wobble.(usually right after it shifts gears) After about 55, it turns back into a vibration again. If, while it's wobbling, I put it into 4WD, the wobble stops.

5..check for loose pieces in your steering..get under it and start shaking..check your tires if they are low on air or out of balence that could happen to

Thanks. Wheel bearings seems to be the most common answer I'm getting. I will check into that ASAP.
