Maybe a bearing. Just take off the wheel and look around for loose or worn out parts.

I'm pretty sure they do. IIRC I had to do something with the bearing on mine and me and my dad had to go to his work to use a bearing press.

Had the alignment checked after you did the front end work? If not, start there.

they bearings DO NOT! need to be pressed out. the bolt in with four bolts from the back side of the hub.

fairly easy job to do right in the drive way.
