Subject: [V8] strut bearing possibly? need a hand diagnosing..

for the past week i have been experiencing a metallic clunking when going over small bumps and during some highway speed light braking. it just tried to figure it out today but i need some experienced input. so heres my symptoms doctors,

jacked up the problem wheel (FL) and could barely here anything when turning wheel back and forth.

put it down and noise got louder. also noticed the center strut bolt had noticeably more movement then the FR center strut bolt.

then i noticed that the wheel would lean in when i turned to the right and out when i turned to the left. it didn't lean to an extreme amount but definitely got my attention considering the right wheel did none of this

also i have noticed the car seems to dart to the left sometimes when i lift off on the highway and then back to the right when i get back into it.

before i go replacing everything i would appreciate your opinions... thanks guys, kyle
