I need help with this problem

Ok, so i'm still getting the wobble sound from my front passenger side wheel. I hear it on the freeway, where the road bends and i'm holding steady throttle. I also get a pop at times when I release the brake.

What has been replaced thus far:
Axles, both sides
Sway bar end links
Wheel bearing and seals
Brakes and rotors
Lower Control arm

What else cold be the issue? Could this be the symptom of a faulty axle? I do have the lifetime warranty. So far everything that it has been sure to be hasn't been the issue. I'm trying to get it buttoned up as we are going to sell the car due to the purchase of a new car, and I don't want the next owner to have to immediately take it somewhere for repairs.

edit:

should i have any play in the passenger side axle between the carrier bearing and the wheel? When the car is on jacks/stands, the outter axle that goes into the wheel has a small amount of play in it, twoards and away from the wheel. It is movement in the CV portion. Does this mean the axle is shot? It has less than 2K miles on it.

Thank you,

matt

Possibly tie rods or ball joints. Have you rotated your tires to make sure its not out of round?

the lower ball joint was replaced with the LCA. I have not rotated the tires in a while. I will take it in for that.

I've noticed it more as the road bends to the right. The tires should be balanced. I had a rotation and balance not too long ago, but I will take it in again for one. See if that fixes any of the issue.

The tie rods still seem pretty tight, there wasn't any play in them. I may look at them again though.

Wheel bearing was replaced about a month ago. I actually don't think there was anything wrong with the last bearing. It was one of those things i replaced because a lot of other people said it was definetly the wheel bearing.
