Default 09 H3 wobbly wheel

Hi guys... been reading the threads a lot before buying. Thanks for the info. Last week I bought a 2009 H3. It's been maintained at the Cadillac dealer. 2 owners. 104k miles.

Wonder if you all might be able to help me out with an issue im having

Had a bad wheel bearing (front driver side) )which I got the dealer to replace, but the truck still pulls to the left when accelerating. Changed the shocks (which were leaking/rusted), got an alignment and it still pulls to the left. On the highway it feels like the left front wheel is wobbly.

Any ideas what it could be?

Btw, you could also measure the tread depth inside/outside/center.

Could it be a bad tie rod? What suspension parts usually go bad on these?

Not a "bad tie rod" since you had the wheel alignment performed. How would they miss that?

Could be one of the following (no specific order & there could be more):

Brake/ABS activity on left side
Brake locking up or dragging
Hub on left side is still bad
Alignment done incorrectly
Tires are in need of balancing & or rotation
Brake line on left side pinched, swollen or mushy

Just some thoughts...
