Wobble that keeps pace with tires...

I have a wobble/oscillating sound, seems to be coming from the front/passenger corner of my 'burb. It has new tires, shocks, alignment, and now wheel bearings. With the wheel bearing it seemed to get better but is still noticeable. There isn't any severe wobble in the steering wheel or floor, just enough that I can hear the oscillating sound that keeps pace with the tires (new tires, balanced supposedly, swapped rims and it didn't follow the rim).

I'm wondering if it could be the ball joints? Or axle bearing?

If I check the wheel for movement, I can grab 6/12 on the wheel and I'm able to pull the bottom towards me less than 1/4 of an inch, but it's not fluid movement. Like the lower ball joint "clicks" towards me, and if I let go it clicks back. Does it both sides, so I wondered if that was normal movement?


ALSO, when I have a vehicle next to me, I hear a "clicking" sound reflected from the rear of the suburban it seems like. This also keeps pace with the tires/axle. Assuming it's not the lower ball joint clicking I talked about above, what could make that sound in the rear?

Thanks guys!

PS - If anyone is in North Alabama (Near Huntsville) and familiar with these things, I'll gladly go for a drive to get another opinion.
