Front Supsension, Wheel Wobble
I own a 99 xj with a 4 inch suspension lift on 15in rim and 32's Maxxis M/T.
Recently I snapped all my wheel studs on the driver side wheel due to not having it balanced or alignment. I have still yet to get a balance and alignment because the problem stopped, but just a couple days ago I started to get a wobble in my driver side wheel. I didn't label this topic as DW because it's not a DW it only wobbles when I am breaking around 40mph other than that and riding a little rough(Due to no Balance) it rides fine. But just yesterday I was driving it and when I was turning at about 10mph the drive side wheel felt like it was about to fall completely off and it was hanging on by a thread. So I took it home and took of the wheel and inspected the wheel studs because I thought I snapped them again.... But they ended up being fine. So now I am at the stage of needing some expert jeep advice you could say haha. Right now I am thinking it could be U-Joint's, Wheel Bearing, or that I need new rotors (Could be Warped). Anyways I just wanted to get you guys opinion and advice on this issue as anything will help.
Note: Tomorrow I am going to get a friend to help me check out the front suspension and see if any of the joints are moving

Ok yea that's what I thought sadly Anyways thx for replying. Like I said I am going to check out the Ball Joints and Wheel Bearings tomorrow morning!
I will keep you updated
Im pretty sure it's the wheel bearing, I just went outside real quick while it was stick jacked up and moved the wheel back and forth and up and down. It did move a little bit (More than it should)
