Get under and have a look for anything abnormal dude. Can't quite work out exactly what you mean!
 
wheel bearing maybe gone put car up on jack and wiggle wheel and see if it moves
 
Yeah ide check the inner tie rod ends, although when they break they usualy squeek when going and low speeds.

Mine didn't make any noise. I only knew cause I was told after the nct.

@murphy
If it was tracking it wouldn't wobble. When the joint is gone it can cause play in the wheel. Best way to check is to jack that side up and see if the wheel moves from side to side. Mine only moved about 1/2 inch in total but was still wa$ked. If in doubt stick your head in and check it really good. I never bothered checking mine when I felt the wobble but when I did the steering rack n all was f$cked.
 
My guess is the lower ball joint. Simply just jack it up and you will find your answer. It should be clear where the movement is coming from once the wheel is in the air

If you get any movement side-to-side its your wheel bearing or steering links , but Id say its that ball joint its pretty bad tbh :nice:

I think it's called inner. Da auto store out near grey stones fitted mine. The rod itself cost €20 from Southside motor factors and you'll prob be looking at about 50-70 for them to fit it. Hope that helps
