could be alignment, could be a bad wheel bearing, bad tie rod end, bad ball joint, bad strut rod bushings, etc.

you need to do more diagnostics to determine which.

Could be bad subframe bushings, could be bad strut rods. Could be so many things... you just gotta get down in there and start digging around.

Wow! I see all the possibilities. Well...i can tell you this. The strut thats on there has the piece that the bolt goes through that aligns and hold the knuckle to the strut, is broken. And thats the small little bracket thats on the strut that slides in the knuckle groove the bolt slides in.

well, that needs fixed for sure - depending on how loose it is that could cause your symptoms.
