Throw a floor jack under the A arm and see if you can
rock the wheel in and out from top and bottom.
You should be able tell if the balljoints or are worn.
Look at the upper strut tower mounts.

.
Happy Racing!

Re: bad brakes ???

Sometimes the two bolts that hold the strut to the knuckle will be loose. I have seen this a few times when people dont tighten them with an impact. check wheel bearings with the wheel on. Check ball joint with jack under crossmember (it has to be in the unloaded position to check) have someone help you check the ball joint so you can watch for movement.
