It's the axle.

It needs to be replaced.

If it's while the wheel is turned and you are moving then as the other's say it's the axle.

If it is while you are turning the wheel and moving or not then it could be the strut bearing.

Just so you know you don't have a third possibility here, CV joint problem=axle problem.
