wheel bearing ?

Yes, raise the front of the car securely up on jackstands. Grab the wheel that is giving you problems with both hands and try to move the wheel in/out, up/down, left/right. There should be no movement. Also, spin the wheel and listen for nasty ginding sounds. There will be a bit of a grind from the brake pads...

I made a thread on hub bearing replacement here in 4.6 tech with pictures and prices of parts. Do a search for it for more information. If you DIY you are looking at about $110 per side to replace hub bearing assemblies and it is a fairly simple procedure. It is common for the hub bearing assembly to fail on these cars.
