More than likely it's either the control arm bushins (check for rot) or the hub bearing... To check if it's the hub bearing, simply jack up that side of the car... Rock the tire from top to bottom (not side to side) if there is any play at all, you found your culprit.... If you do replace your hub bearing, make sure it's torqued down to 180 ft pounds... This is CRITICAL... If you over or under torque it, you can say bye bye to your new bearings withing 2-3000 miles..

Also check your exaust system is stable and tight...

With a friend, have him also check underneath while you are rocking the tire... Look at the ball joints, if they move at all those will be the culprit...
