All. My wife front end has me chasing my tail. When driving it there is a popping sound that sounds like something is loose. I replaced the shocks 2 months ago and I just thought one had loosened up..not the case. When checking everything I found the pass half shaft were it comes out of the dif is loose..I can slide it one inch back and forth and it does move around when I push up and down on it. I also have a vibration in the brake petal when I slow down. We just replaced all the brakes and rotors because I couldn't figure it out. They needed it anyways. I read about getting the wheels torqued correctly...and that has t helped. Could this be the wheel bearings? It is smooth down the road..but I do notice a lot more road noise lately. Just looking for some advice from your knowledged. Thanks for any help
