Wheel wobble?
Car: 98 Z28 has poly sway bar bushings but everything else up front is old and I assume stock.
Problem: While driving down the road I have a hard pull to one side then if I hit a pot hole, bump, anything it will switch sides. If I go down a dirt road its just back and forth. Everything looked okay underneath. No grinding or noise. when I jack up the front I pulled on the front wheels and there wasn't any play. (like wheel bearings tie rods etc)
Has anyone delt with this or have any checks I can do? I don't want to assume its a bearing and pull it all apart if I don't need to. My last thought was the control arms but don't know how to check them without pulling them out.
Any help is much appreciated guys!

Not really "engine tech"..... let's move this to "General 67-02 F-Body Tech" to increase the chance for responses..
