In Maine the way the state checks the tire rod ends and ball joints for a state inspection is to jack up the front of the car. Take the wheel in your hands at the 3:00 and 9:00 and see if you can feel slop (you can feel it move, and then stop very suddenly, It does not take much movement at all to be a problem say a 1/16 “ or less). To test ball joints place a bar under the tire and pry the wheel up. Again if it moves the ball joints are bad. A wheel bearing could also cause this but is more unlikely. If it were you would hear a noise when driving like a grinding. A way to check it to see if you have slop in the wheel (jacked up like above). You will have slop anyway you push on the wheel. This is not always so but in bad cases you will feel it. There may be a better way to do this but this is how the State says to check it and it has always worked for me. Yes a tire balance problem would cause what you are feeling. If this simple check (as listed above) comes out fine then I would look at a tire balance. As the tests are free I would do them first. But I would bet you just need a balance. Hope this helps. Good Luck…
