Exclamation Front End bounce

I have a 2008 Alpha , on my way home as i was turning in to my sub i herd a pop and it seemed like one side of vehicle was riding on hills causing a bad wobble. I have since replaced both front CV axles and upper control arms but still have same issue, Rolling backwards it seems ok and rolling forward in neutral is ok but when i put in drive going forward it starts the wobble. I have jacked up and checked wheels for wobble but found nothing. Any help would be great.

If your vehicle wobbles at 15 to 20, go directly to a tire shop, do not pass go, do not collect $200.00, definitely do not hit the freeway with your family in the car, go directly to a tire shop. Though this can be caused by a severely bent wheel, or severe cupping, the most likely cause is a separated tire. Separated tires are a very serious safety issue, and must be dealt with immediately, since it's just a matter of time before the tire blows. A tire failure of this type almost always causes damage to the vehicle, but that's nothing compared to the many fatalities that are cause by this. Do not put this off!

Thanks for reply but tires are fairly new but just to be sure I rotated, crazy thing is that it does it at 5 mph in drive but not in reverse and if in neutral rolling forward it doesn’t, it’s like my cv is jacked but it did it before I installed new ones.

Separated rack and pinion steering? Lower ball joint? Anyone of the bushings in front suspension? Hubs? Tie rods? Internals in front differential?

A brand new tire can suffer failure if defective.
