Car wobble

Hey guys,

The wifes car is wobbling at low speeds 5-25 mph and is pulling to the right at higher speeds. My first suspect is the ball joints. I noticed a few months ago if you turn the wheel all the way it makes a clunk sound so I figured the ball joints are on their way out.

Any other suggestions? Also should I go ahead and buy some control arm bushing since I will be down there tinkering anyways?

Possible bad bearing?

Have you tried jacking up the car and checking for play in the wheels?

I have actually and it seemed to have no play. I had a tremendous amount of play back and forth in my 4th gen when I had it so that was my first though but it seems to be tight.
