leave the car on the ground, wiggle the wheel hard and listen/feel for a clunk. if you feel one get a mate to stand hard on the brakes and do it again. if it stops with the brakes on (or almost completely goes away) its a good indication its the bearings. |

could be wheel bearings, could be king pin bearings, best way to check is get somebody to wobble while you look for which bit is moving and which isnt |

By applying the brakes you usually remove the bearings play and if it still wiggles it is usually kingpins. also jacking and slowly lowering and looking for movement in the kingpins. |

If there is movement when brakes applied (i'm assuming front wheels) then i would be having a good look at king pins |
